Listen Later

In this episode of Molecule to Market, you’ll go inside the outsourcing space of the global drug development sector with Thomas Dobmeyer, medical, entrepreneur and investor at ekwithree.

 

Your host, Raman Sehgal, discusses the pharmaceutical and biotechnology supply chain with Thomas, covering:

  • Choosing to freelance and consult as a medic after qualifying in medicine.
  • Co-founding a niche regulatory affairs firm and growing it into a 3,000-person multinational pharmaceutical solutions organisation.
  • Expanding into new countries, acquisitions, and domains to build scale and credibility in biopharma — with culture as the secret weapon.
  • Why lawmakers and regulators became his best salespeople, and how increasing complexity, internationalisation, and market growth ultimately led to a $1.4B exit to Cencora.
  • Life after the sale as an active investor and mentor — and the key trends Thomas sees shaping the future of drug development.
  • Dr. Thomas Dobmeyer is a physician, researcher, and entrepreneur currently serving as a partner at ekwithree GmbH, a growth investment firm specializing in technology-driven B2B service providers. In this role, Thomas plays a key part in driving the organizational success of ekwithree and its diverse portfolio of companies.

     

    With over two decades of extensive experience in the pharmaceutical and medical technology industries, Thomas was founder and CEO of PharmaLex GmbH. There, he spearheaded the transformation of a startup consulting boutique into a globally recognized unicorn company operating in 40 countries with 3,500 employees. His strategic expertise was instrumental in shaping and executing the company’s business strategies, overseeing leadership team formation, advising on strategic matters, and ensuring the implementation of robust business plans to achieve corporate objectives. Under his leadership, PharmaLex successfully completed nearly 40 mergers and acquisitions, significantly expanding its global business model and footprint.
