Life Sciences Collaborative – New Jersey Monthly Meeting
Topic: Life Sciences Industry outlook. Who is investing today in the market and what are the current challenges of emerging companies getting the capital they need to grow their companies?
Speaker: Walter Greenblatt, Managing Partner – Walter Greenblatt and Associates
Please plan on joining us in person again! On March 14th at 4 PM (next Thursday) John Pennett and the folks at EisnerAmper will be hosting our next meeting. Please plan on meeting at 111 South Wood Avenue – 6th Floor, Iselin, NJ. Zoom is optional and the link is below this invitation. I’ve scheduled the meeting to run until 5:15 PM. Following the meeting, for those attending, I hope you can join Walter and me for happy hour at a local restaurant. Walter is coming in from Brooklyn, NY to lead this discussion. Please try to join the meeting in person. We’ve had several new members to the LSC-NJ chapter and I hope you’ll join us. In addition, I’ve invited our colleagues in Boston to join via Zoom and perhaps they can add some comments about what they’re seeing in Boston/Cambridge.
Leading our discussion this month is Walter Greenblatt, Managing Director of Walter Greenblatt and Associates (www.wgreenblatt.com). Walter is going to provide his perspective on the current life sciences investment landscape. Walter has been a part of the LSC community from our start nearly 13 years ago. He has remained a regular member of the group providing valuable feedback and always offering great comments in any meeting he attends.
Walter Greenblatt
Managing director
Walter Greenblatt brings to our clients a vast store of business experience—both as an operating executive and an advisor to top management, of clients ranging from Fortune 500 companies to publicly traded and privately-held mid-sized corporations.
After earning his MBA with Distinction from Harvard in 1982, he worked at Bain & Company, a leading strategy consulting firm. His projects included strategic planning, mergers & acquisitions, strategic cost analysis, and marketing. He served clients in industries ranging from health care to financial services to manufacturing (including steel and oil industries).
An experienced entrepreneur and “hands-on” operating executive, Mr. Greenblatt founded and grew a profitable business, ultimately managing over 130 employees. He successfully sold the business after operating it for ten years.
His subsequent investment banking experience has focused on middle-market transactions. He has helped clients in a variety of healthcare and manufacturing industries to plan strategy, raise capital to implement the strategy and acquire and/or divest the business units necessary to achieve key goals.
Mr. Greenblatt received his MBA with Distinction from Harvard Business School in 1982. Previously he graduated summa cum laude from Yale and received a Masters degree in Economics with First Class Honors from Oxford University.
Once again, please plan on joining the meeting this month. It’s always nice to get together with a group following these meetings. For those in Boston, I hope you can make it via Zoom.
Thanks, once again, to Walter for offering to lead the discussion and to John Pennett for hosting.
Steve
