About Us
Tom Ryan
Founder & CEO
After spending twenty years of his career in the Life Sciences market, Tom noticed that many service providers, while technically proficient, were still having trouble reaching their customers. In October 2017, Tom decided to give those organizations a voice and founded NavigatorBIO - a Contract Development Organization for the Life Sciences community.
As a leader in the field, Tom brings decades of experience across the Pharma / BioTech / MedTech industries. With a range of practice stretching from “Fortune 500” companies to “start ups”, he offers an unprecedented scope of knowledge and understanding to his clients.
Further augmenting the NavigatorBIO menu of services, Tom has tapped into his extensive list of industry-specific relationships further bolstering business-to-business opportunities. He has secured leaders in the field, all bringing different skill sets, to serve as Strategic Advisors putting into practice his own business philosophy - “The right people at the right time is the right way toward success.”
