Raymond BarlowFounder

United Kingdom - Oxford, England

I am a C-Suite Commercial Business Leader and Corporate Business Development Expert, developing and delivering organisational transformations for both start-up and leading global Life Sciences businesses to meet strategic goals.

As CBO of Kiadis Pharma NV I was brought on board to complete a strategic Licensing Agreement with Sanofi which led to the Company being acquired 4 month later at a 272% premium. As CEO of e-Therapeutics PLC I was brought on board to lead the public company turnaround and position the business for commercialisation. My earlier career includes: Executive Director at Amgen Inc, creating an international corporate development capability and transacting key deals; Senior Director at Crucell, professionalising the BD function to help enable the successful $2.3bn acquisition by Johnson & Johnson in 2011; and several years at AstraZeneca in various BD, commercial and scientific roles.

I can uniquely leverage my diverse scientific knowledge with my current commercial leadership experience across a wide range of organisations, while influencing operationally at board level as a Business Development subject matter expert, to optimise organisational expansion and global exposure.

I have a proven track record leading complex commercial negotiations including major mergers & acquisitions, licencing deals and business turnarounds. This includes driving business development and delivering transformational deals at Amgen to grow presence from 50 to 100 countries, improve product sales by 9% and achieve multiple commercial-stage deals including US rights to AIMOVIG.

Additionally, I nurture collaborative key senior stakeholder relationships to influence and ensure support for critical change.
