Following Lundbeck, Geoff spent 15 years with ICI Pharmaceuticals and AstraZeneca (AZ) and led the AZ merger process in all ex-US markets. Geoff then became Global SVP for CNS and Oncology drugs at AZ, an $8 billion-dollar business. Following AZ, Geoff transitioned into biotech and consulting where he assisted many major companies on launch strategy, leadership development, and positioning. Mr. Birkett joined Ensysce in 2018.
