Client Comments

 

"When our CFO departed, Sharon immediately stepped into the role, and in less than a month executed a financing. She kept the SEC reporting and Audit Committee trains running on time and identified and mentored our permanent CFO. She created a perfect, seamless transition." 
- Linda Grais, CEO Ocera (OCRX)

 

"Over the past two years, Sharon and her people supported Allakos’ growth from a nearly virtual preclinical company into a clinical stage biotech company with two products in multiple clinical trials. She has taken us through three annual audits including a successful changeover to a big four audit firm. I particularly value Sharon’s counsel and connections as we continue to execute our financing strategy."
- Allakos, Chris Bebbington, CEO

 

"Sharon’s connections and seasoned insights have been invaluable to us. Over the years she and her team have helped us with everything from raising funds to operations. She is a trusted advisor to our executive team."
- David Kim, 4D Molecular Therapeutics

 

"Sharon helped bring clarity to our strategic plan at pivotal time for our company. At the same time, her internal leadership and deep bench of outside resources helped equip our new CFO to execute a smooth IPO process."
- Sean McCarthy, CEO Cytomx Therapeutics, Inc. (CTMX)
