In this episode of Molecule to Market, you’ll go inside the outsourcing space of the global drug development sector with Nick Fortin, Chief Executive Officer at Codis.

Your host, Raman Sehgal, discusses the pharmaceutical and biotechnology supply chain with Nick, covering:

• Nick’s desire to scratch that entrepreneurial itch, while recognising he was missing a key tool in his toolbox, which led him to pursue a midlife MBA.


• His turnaround role at Neopharma exposed him to major players in the pharma services space, ultimately paving the way to Particle Dynamics (now Codis).


• The major pillars Nick established when he joined Particle Dynamics as CEO, and the company’s transformational journey that led to further investment, a major international acquisition, and the creation of Codis.


• Key lessons on managing multiple investors around the board table — and the critical role of a Chairman.


• Why the bioavailability challenge for many molecules in the pipeline supports continued growth in spray drying.

Nicolas joined Particle Dynamics as President and CEO in 2018. He has almost 30 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry across multiple leadership roles. Nicolas earned a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering and holds an MBA from McGill and HEC Universities.
