About

China-, US-, and EU-based biotech companies typically reach out to me the moment their IND is nearly filed or already in active pre-IND dialogue with regulators—yet they still lack an internal clinical or medical team to drive the program forward. What’s missing is a single, accountable program owner who owns delivery end-to-end across countries, vendors, and functions. I step in as interim Programme Director and take full ownership of clinical delivery—with decision authority, governance, escalation pathways, and relentless execution follow-through across Clinical Operations, Medical Affairs, Regulatory Affairs, Data Management & Statistics, Pharmacovigilance, and external partners. Drawing on 14+ years of hands-on leadership—building clinical development departments from the ground up, steering IND submissions and multi-regional trials for DNA vaccines (COVID, RSV, HBV), mRNA therapeutics, monoclonal antibodies, and bispecifics, plus leading high-impact license-in deals and fundraising rounds—I bridge strategy and execution for sponsors expanding into or operating within Greater China. I excel at rapidly evaluating breakthrough science and translating it into therapies, diagnostics, and clinical solutions that maximize patient and commercial outcomes. I also partner with investors on independent program risk assessments and advisory work, delivering execution-grounded insights into clinical feasibility, data integrity, regulatory risk, and delivery timelines. Engagements are structured as interim or contract roles, enabling sponsors to stabilize and accelerate programs—especially European or US assets entering China—without the overhead of building permanent local infrastructure. 🌍 Based in China (GMT+8) ✈ Available for on-site work and international travel as needed
