We’re in Hamburg with Sean Marett, who has been instrumental to the success of BioNTech for 12 years.
We talked about the secrets behind BioNTech’s success. We also talked about the art of dealmaking and working with China.
⭐️ ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Sean joined BioNTech in 2012 as part of the Management Board. He was instrumental in the growth of the company and global expansion through business development and product commercialization. Prior to BioNTech Sean worked in top companies such as GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer, Evotec, and Lorantis. I first met Sean in 2015 in Berlin, when BioNTech had no website, but was already the largest private biotech in Europe. Now Sean has retired from BioNTech after 12 years but still aids the company as a specialist consultant.
