Stephen Sullivan’s Biography

It is a privilege to teach BIOT 566 which I created and first taught here in 2016. Gratefully, 566 has been offered each year since. I have been in healthcare my entire career, largely in the biopharmaceutical industry. After many years with large firms like Abbott Laboratories, I took my first CEO position in a biotechnology firm. Later I was CEO of two different contract research organizations (CROs). Today more than 50% of drug research is outsourced to CROs. I am on several boards and advise private equity firms investing in pharmaceutical services. I created 566 based on my belief that a broad perspective, critical thinking and clear values will help you be a more effective leader. 566 can be taken on the scientific or business track. I look forward to meeting you.
