Taking on the biologics CDMOs from down under

In this episode of Molecule to Market, you’ll go inside the outsourcing space of the global drug development sector with Mark W. Womack, Chief Executive Officer at BioCina.

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

• How a tough upbringing in LA led him to the US Navy, and then onto a pathway into leadership
• Why he decided to end his own practice and jump into a senior role within a biopharma CDMO space
• The key factors that led him to relocate to Adelaide, Australia
• The reality that most biologics CDMOs frequently fail to deliver... and why winning requires operating with discipline, and consistently executing at a high level

Mark W. Womack is BioCina’s Chief Executive Officer. Prior to BioCina, he was CEO of KBI Biopharma and Selexis SA, and previous to that, he was CEO and Managing Director of Stelis Biopharma, leading both to significant YOY growth. Preceding Stelis, as the CBO for AGC Biologics, one of the world’s leading global biopharma CDMOs, he led them to nearly a 300% increase in new sales in just two years.

Prior to joining AGC Biologics, Mark served over 20 years as an international management consulting industry leader, guiding many of the world’s renowned companies to achieve record highs in revenue and profit. This included a $20B post-merger integration within General Motors and numerous transformations that generated more than $100M in certified client benefits.

Mark began his professional journey by leading a succession of U.S. Navy units to unprecedented results, including while serving as a combat center leader on a destroyer class ship, and he received numerous of the Navy’s highest honors and awards.
