Sandor Schoichet
CO-FOUNDER AND PARTNER, CO-FOUNDER AND PARTNER, BIOPHARMA SUSTAINABILITY ROUNDTABLE
Sandor is a Co-Founder and Partner of the Biopharma Sustainability Roundtable, and Director at Meridian Management Consultants.
Sandor has spent over 30 years helping clients respond to changing business demands by defining and achieving strategic, operational, and process improvement objectives. His consulting work has focused on operations strategy, capital planning, business process redesign, change management, and program leadership for clients like BMS, Genentech, Novartis, Illumina, and BioMarin. This work set the stage for creating the Biopharma Sustainability Roundtable in 2013 as a platform for addressing the full range of strategic environmental, social, and governance (ESG) concerns. As a Sustainability columnist for Pharmaceutical Executive magazine he hopes to share these insights more widely.
In parallel with his strategic work on sustainability, Sandor has also been active as an early-stage lifescience and agbio advisor. He is a Director at the Alliance of CEOs, where he helps facilitate a quarterly Life Sciences Roundtable, and a Principal Advisor with the Larta Institute, a life sciences and agtech start-up accelerator. He first got involved with the local start-up community through producing events for the MIT/Stanford Venture Lab (VLAB) on bio-nanotech devices and biofuels, and advising capstone project teams in the UCSF Bioentrepreneurship program.
Before starting Meridian Management Consultants in 2009, Sandor worked for international consulting firms like PRTM (acquired by PwC), small advisory firms like Acumen Sciences, and as an independent consultant. He has also been a senior operational manager responsible for IT strategy and implementation at several biotech, web service, and systems integration firms, including stints as Director of Information Sciences for Medical Affairs at Genentech, and CIO for bioinformatics start-up Gorilla Genomics.
Sandor earned EE and MS degrees from MIT in Computer Science, where he studied artificial intelligence, distributed computing, and business process reengineering, and completed a joint Sloan-Harvard program in Management of Innovation. He has undergraduate degrees in both Information Science and Philosophy from UCSC. He is an avid sailor, racer, and ASA certified keelboat instructor.
