OUR TEAM | Core Members

MARKETS & LISTING is built on a solid foundation. We count on more than a dozen contributors for their knowledge and experience to this endeavour. It was created from the outside-in, following our founding partners’ ability to read into the uncertain realities and needs of biotech companies, but it has grown from the inside-out, thanks to the steady effort from each core member of the team consistently acting as a catalytic force.

All our team members share the common goal of building a better biotech ecosystem, coupled with a common culture of dynamic and evolving organization. To solve our clients’ unique and ever-changing puzzles, they compose, case after case, the missing piece.
