The right candidate must have significant senior executive experience leading a biotechnology, pharmaceutical and/or medical device company with full profit and loss responsibility. Due to the demanding nature of the profession, these types of managers are usually best grown in the field of work, making their way from a medical or biotech background, finally reaching higher level management positions.
The primary goal for the CEO is to expand intellectual property, patents, trademarks, market applications for the company 's products and capital raising, as well as establishing strategic relationships in order to build shareholder value.
