The CDMO model is evolving fast, but what actually separates the leaders from the rest in today’s market?

This week on Making It In Manufacturing, Harry Sloan sat down with Thierry Van Nieuwenhove, CEO of Quotient Sciences, with 25+ years of experience spanning business development, engineering, global manufacturing leadership, and executive roles.

In this episode, Thierry covers:

• The evolution of the CDMO landscape over 25 years, from API-focused events to a global, multi-disciplinary pharma ecosystem

• How Quotient Sciences built a unique translational pharmaceutics platform to combine clinical studies with drug manufacturing, accelerating development timelines by up to 12 months

• A career journey from chemical engineering into global business development and leadership, including building manufacturing capabilities in India and working across Europe and the US

• Why speed, efficiency, and proof of concept are critical in today’s funding-constrained biotech environment

• The growing impact of AI, global innovation shifts including China, and how CDMOs must adapt to remain competitive and support emerging biotech pipelines

If you are looking to understand where the CDMO space is heading, and what it takes to lead in a rapidly evolving pharmaceutical market, this episode offers a clear and practical perspective. Be sure to watch the full conversation.
