Inizio’s biotech bromance

In this episode of Molecule to Market, you’ll go inside the outsourcing space of the global drug development sector with Jason McKenna, Global President, and Dean McAlister, Executive Vice President both from Inizio Biotech.

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

• A wealth of big pharma learnings for today’s emerging biotechs.
• The (good and bad) impact of the current biotech capital market slowdown on decision-making for outsourced service providers.
• What the future may look like in our space in terms of financing and therapeutic impact.
• Learnings from how to make a business relationship successes from complementary colleagues.

Jason spent the initial part of his career in big pharma, working for AstraZeneca in the US and UK across a variety of marketing, sales and finance roles. He is now the Global President of Inizio’s first enterprise business unit, Inizio Biotech. Jason and his team enable biotech partners to maximize the value of their assets by providing scalable support, through the seamless experience of a single point of coordination. Previously CEO at STEM, an Inizio Advisory company, Jason led the organization through significant scaling and transformation throughout the COVID pandemic.

Dean has over 35 years of biopharma experience across established and startup organizations – including 28 years with AstraZeneca in 16 roles of increasing commercial responsibility, where he led global and regional sales and strategic business development. Dean has built cross-functional teams spanning all therapeutic areas. Following AZ, he grew STEM Healthcare North America from 10 clients to 38 over a five-year period before a sale to UDG. He is also a podcaster, speaker, and published author.
