He’s used his significant experience and track record of success in leading multiple pharmaceutical companies to build and position New Haven Pharma as a rapidly developing specialty pharmaceutical company. Utilizing resources within Connecticut and elsewhere, he has led the company through its clinical trials, FDA approval, and launch of DURLAZA™. With support from investors and his board, Patrick has hired a talented and deep management team and built a national sales force.
