About Catherine Collard

As a seasoned marketing executive, I bring 16+ years of experience leading commercialization and brand strategies for transformative therapies in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. With specialization in rare and ultra-rare disease, I have successfully built marketing functions from the ground up, driven $500M+in revenue, and led teams to achieve exceptional business outcomes. At Marinus Pharmaceuticals, I spearheaded the launch of ZTALMY in CDKL5 Deficiency Disorder, delivering $20M in annual revenue and preparing for future expansions. My expertise spans strategic brand planning, global and US product launches, market shaping, and cross-functional alignment across medical, sales, and market access teams. I thrive in dynamic, growth-oriented environments, aligning stakeholders, mentoring high-performing teams, and delivering impactful strategies that drive both patient outcomes and commercial success. Passionate about advancing the biotech industry, I am dedicated to translating complex science into compelling narratives that resonate with key audiences and deliver measurable results. What I am Looking For: I am seeking leadership roles such as Brand Lead at mid to small cap biotechnology companies. I am particularly drawn to organizations advancing late-stage clinical assets in rare or specialty diseases. My ideal environment is one where I can build or scale marketing teams, collaborate with cross-functional leaders, and contribute to shaping market-defining strategies that drive growth and innovation.
