Chief Commercial and Business Officer @ CervoMed
About
With 20 years of experience in biotechnology, I have led multiple billion-dollar franchises and driven commercial growth from pipeline assets through peak revenue. As a PhD-trained strategist and operator, I work at the intersection of science, strategy, and capital markets. I have held senior leadership roles as Chief Operating Officer (COO), Chief Commercial Officer (CCO), and Chief Business Officer (CBO), focusing on corporate strategy, disciplined and capital-efficient execution, external partnerships, and the commercialization of innovative therapies. My experience spans the full drug development lifecycle at both large-cap and growth-stage public companies. I have worked across research and development, clinical, operations, market access, and commercial organizations to translate scientific innovation into durable clinical and commercial success. I have led enterprise initiatives aligning portfolio strategy, strategic partnerships, and product launches across organizations. I prioritize developing scientific and commercial talent and building high-performance cultures that sustain success through periods of growth and transition. A trusted partner to boards, investors, and global stakeholders, I combine scientific credibility with operational discipline to translate innovation into meaningful impact. Currently, as Chief Commercial and Business Officer at CervoMed, I shape enterprise strategy to advance novel therapies for age-related brain disorders, working closely with boards and investors to align scientific priorities and long-term value creation.
