Carlos N Velez
Connexin Therapeutics UK, Lacerta Bio, and Consultant in New York
I'm a Managing Partner with Lacerta Bio, a boutique business development consultancy for the pharma/biotech industry. I help companies develop and execute business development strategies and tactics.
I'm also the co-founder and CEO of Connexin Therapeutics, a UK-based biotech company which discovers and develops new drugs to prevent blindness in patients with glaucoma and related conditions. We are currently raising our Series A round after closing a Seed round in 2019.
When I'm not immersed in the pharmaceutical world, I cook, I brew coffee, I read (mainly European history), I CrossFit, and run in 5K races at a leisurely pace.
I perform family genealogical research, and am a long-suffering fan of the Brooklyn Nets & Tottenham Hotspur FC.
My musical tastes are eclectic: blues, rock, jazz, and, of course, disco.
It matters not how strait the gate
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate.
I am the captain of my soul.
