Decision Makers
EVP & President, US Market
Princeton, NJ
Joined Jan 2025. Previously VP & Head of Rare Diseases at Genentech (13 years). Stanford MBA, UPenn undergrad. Board member Egetis Therapeutics.
Qualification
Danish biopharma (NASDAQ: ASND, ~$4B mkt cap) that doubled Princeton footprint to 100+ people (Oct 2025). Plans for continued growth. Strong company in right location BUT high probability they already have a tenant rep from the Oct 2025 expansion. Worth soft relationship-building outreach for future growth beyond current space.
Broker Intel
Likely has broker
Moved from 902 Carnegie Center to 212 Carnegie Center Blvd (Oct 2025). 22K SF lease by public company almost certainly involved a tenant rep. JLL (Thomas Romano) markets 212 Carnegie Center. High probability of existing broker relationship.
