With an Accounting and Finance career that has taken him around the world, Jamie’s love of the life sciences stems from his Masters degree in Pharmacology, earned at the University of Bath, UK. During his ten years with Grant Thornton, one of the world’s leading accounting firms, he has had significant experience within the life sciences, manufacturing, retail, and financial services industries. When his role as Senior Audit Manager at Grant Thornton took him to the US, Jamie joined Georgia Bio, the industry group for the life sciences community in the state of Georgia and served as the Chair of the Finance and Audit Committee for a number of years. It was in this capacity that Jamie met Russell Allen, the then CEO of Georgia Bio and where the initial discussions regarding BiotechExec began to take place.

After years working with multi-million dollar companies, Jamie is excited to help young companies in the life sciences sector commercialize their ideas and bring life changing and life-saving products and treatments to the market.
