Olivier Steiner

I’m a global life sciences leader who has spent my career building, fixing, and scaling companies across the U.S., Europe, Latin America, and Asia. My work centers on helping organizations grow with discipline — aligning multicultural teams, strengthening operations, and turning complex organizations into predictable, profitable engines.Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, I work with public boards, private equity firms, and founder‑led companies that need a leader who can move quickly without losing operational rigor. I’m fluent in French, German, English, and Spanish, and I’ve lived and worked in Switzerland, France, Türkiye, Colombia, and the U.S. That background gives me an instinctive feel for cultural nuance and a practical ability to unify teams across borders. My leadership blends two worlds: ·  Public‑Market Discipline: SOX/SEC expectations, governance, investor communication, and enterprise‑scale controls. ·  Private‑Market Agility: Turnarounds, restructuring, commercial acceleration, and hands‑on operational leadership. Across CDMO, pharma, and diagnostics, I’ve helped companies evolve from regional operations into integrated global networks — scaling GMP/ICH‑compliant manufacturing, modernizing technical operations, and expanding commercial reach across North America, Europe, Asia, and LATAM. At the center of all this is a simple belief: improving the quality of life for patients requires both scientific excellence and operational efficiency — and it must be done at a cost people can afford. That purpose has guided every major decision I’ve made as a leader.
