Chief Scientific Officer (CSO)
The Chief Scientific Officer leads research strategy, oversees the scientific pipeline, and represents the company's science to investors, regulators, and key opinion leaders. For foreign biotech and life-sciences companies entering the US, the CSO is also the bridge to the FDA, US-based academic partners, and the American venture capital community.
Pact & Partners has placed CSOs for European and Asian biotech and life-sciences companies setting up US operations since the field began. We know the scientific leaders who command credibility with the FDA, who can recruit US-based research teams, and who maintain alignment with the parent company's discovery engine while building a distinct US presence.
