EVP/ Head of Biopharma @ INPACT Global

About

A scientific businessman, helping biotechs, CDMOs, and life science innovators win global partnerships and scale faster. I’ve spent the last two decades building a career at the crossroads of science, business, and global dealmaking — from early R&D at Gilead and BioMarin to commercial and BD leadership at Samsung Bioepis, GenScript ProBio, and SK bioscience. Along the way, one thing became clear: great science doesn’t change the world unless great partnerships bring it to people. Today, as EVP & Head of Biopharma at INPACT Global, I help life science companies unlock real global opportunities. Not just strategy. Not just introductions. Actual BD and licensing execution. Real customers. Real deals. Real revenue. What I do (and why clients call me ahead of me): • Build cross-border partnerships that move the needle • Lead in- and out-licensing for assets, platforms, and technologies • Source, structure, and support BD, Licensing, and M&A opportunities • Accelerate sales, channel strategy, and distributor build-out • Open doors across Korea, APAC, China, India, and the U.S. • Operate as a executional extension of your leadership team — not a consultant on the side I’ve negotiated and closed hundreds of BD, licensing, and M&A agreements across pharma, biotech, CDMO, CRO, and medtech. I’ve helped companies enter new regions, double and triple revenue, and transform promising science into global businesses. Most importantly, I build relationships based on trust. People work with me because I love them back, I genuinely care about their success, and I deliver. * Key Track Records SK bioscience — Led selection, due diligence, acquisition, and PMI of IDT Biologika, contributing to SKBS nearly tripling consolidated revenue. GenScript ProBio — Built and led the U.S. CDMO BD engine, achieving 7× revenue growth in 3.5 years and establishing a world-class BD culture. Samsung Bioepis — Drove biosimilar launches across U.S./EU/ROW and managed alliances with Merck & Biogen, during which revenue grow from $0 → $650M in 3.5 years. Gilead & BioMarin — Early R&D and QA experience that gave me the scientific grounding that empowers me get deals today and tomorrow.
