What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead business development, licensing, strategic partnerships, and external innovation initiatives that advance biopharma portfolios, create value through complex transactions, and build high-impact collaborations.

I've led business development at Dynavax and GSK Vaccines, taking biopharma opportunities from sourcing and diligence through negotiation, execution, and post-deal management. My work includes a GSK commercial brand divestment valued at more than US$1 billion, 30+ CpG 1018 agreements, and licensing and collaboration deals supporting vaccine development.

I bring scientific, intellectual-property, commercial, and strategic judgment to complex transactions across vaccines, enabling technologies, commercial assets, and external innovation. I work closely with senior leaders, biotech partners, academia, investors, and cross-functional teams to evaluate assets, structure agreements, and build partnerships that advance portfolios.
