Hi Y***n, Great question. In the China region, the BD & Alliance team you’d lead is currently made up of: - Three BD Managers: each focused on licensing, partnership development, and M&A opportunities in biologics and biosimilars - Two Alliance Managers: responsible for driving milestone execution, joint steering committees, and partner communications - A dedicated Business Analyst who supports financial modeling, market assessments, and deal diligence All five report into the Director role and partner closely with our in-house legal, regulatory, finance, and commercial liaisons (another 4,5 professionals) to keep deals moving smoothly. The core BD team averages 7,10 years of industry experience, primarily from top-tier pharma and biotech firms. As our China footprint expands, you’ll have the opportunity to grow this team further. Hope this gives you a clearer picture,happy to dive into any aspect of the team structure on our call Tuesday at 2:30 PM. Looking forward to it! Best, J***e HR Recruiter, StrategyBrain

Hi Y***n, Great questions,here’s how we’ve accelerated deal momentum at B***a: 1. Governance & Cadence - Weekly BD “huddle” led by the Director to review pipeline health, flag blockers, and assign clear action owners - Bi-weekly cross-functional deal review with R&D, Regulatory, Legal and Commercial champions to secure technical and commercial alignment within 48,72 hours - Monthly Steering Committee chaired by the SVP of Global BD to fast-track any escalations and confirm milestone sign-offs - Centralized deal dashboard updated in real time, so everyone sees progress, next steps and decision deadlines 2. Decision Rights - Pre-approved deal parameters (financial bands, exclusivity clauses, core terms) empower you to close routine licensing and partnership agreements without further sign-off - A clear escalation path for larger or higher-risk deals ensures that only truly strategic exceptions reach senior leadership 3. Headcount Flexibility - We operate on a rolling talent-planning model: after each quarterly business review, you can propose new hires based on pipeline volume and strategic priorities - Given our China growth targets, we anticipate adding 1,2 BD or Alliance Managers within the next 12 months, with the ability to scale further as your footprint expands Looking forward to walking through this in more depth on Tuesday at 2:30 PM. Let me know if you’d like any additional materials beforehand! Best, J***e HR Recruiter, StrategyBrain

Hi Y***n, Great question. In practice, our SVP-steered escalations and pre-approved deal parameters regularly cut 20,30% off our cycle times,typically shaving out 5,10 business days. For example, two recent biologics licensing deals closed in under six weeks versus the usual eight- to nine-week process. Routine partnerships within pre-approved financial and term bands have seen sign-off in as little as 48 hours. I’ll bring detailed case studies and dashboard snapshots to our call on Tuesday so you can see exactly how it plays out. Looking forward to walking you through the real-world impact at 2:30 PM Shanghai time! Best, J***e
