From Pfizer to CDMO start-up

In this episode of Molecule to Market, you’ll go inside the outsourcing space of the global drug development sector with Gerry Cox, Founder and Chief Operating Officer at Velesco Pharmaceutical Services.

Your host, Raman Sehgal, discusses the pharmaceutical and biotechnology supply chain with Gerry, covering:    

• The transition from two decades in Big Pharma to the entrepreneurial world of running a CDMO.
• Becoming known as the ‘lab down the hall’ for many clients with products in the clinical phase of development.
• The value of talking to people, networking and not being intimidated when starting out your own business.
• Consistently keeping your operational house in order in the face of increasing market demand.

Raman has taken great pleasure in getting to know fellow Bostonian Gerry, since moving to the states. An accountant by trade, Gerry worked for Pfizer for eighteen years in corporate and research & development roles, both globally and onsite. Since founding Velesco back in 2007, he has led the steady growth of the company’s operations and its most recent expansions. A phenomenal networker, Gerry enjoys connecting people and communicating with people within the sector.
