About Simon Plyte
I have over 20 years experience at the Director/Manager/VP level in the Pharmaceutical/Biotechnology industry and have a proven track record of building, motivating and guiding winning teams. By nature I am a positive, dynamic person and I always strive for the best by challenging myself and those around me. My Leadership style is inclusive and I actively seek input from colleagues at all levels such that a well thought through decision will be taken. However, I am also comfortable with risk and will take responsability and make decisions in times of uncertainty. I am mentally agile and always see change as a great opportunity to do things differently and better. My deep understanding of the whole drug discovery process and experience in developing both NCEs and NBEs has a significant impact in the work place. I have a strong passion for developing innovative drugs and for nuturing the next generation of “Drug Hunters”. I relish challenges and am always looking for fresh perspectives and new opportunities. My R’n’D interest has predominantly been in Oncology, more recently immuno_oncology, although I have developed (and taken to clinic) an NDE in acute myocardial infarction, and have had a significant impact on NBE drug discovery in Neurodegeneration, Ophthalmology and metabolic diseases.
