Founder & CEO
Bio:
Joseph D. Pike has more than forty years of success purchasing and steering the development of both prescription and over the counter drugs and medical devices, particularly in the field of women’s reproductive health, through the regulatory process and commercializing or divesting them on behalf of his investors.
Mr. Pike, after practicing law on Wall Street, made his first business acquisition in 1987, acquiring Finishing Enterprises, Inc. (FEI) for $1.1 million. In 1989, FEI created GynoPharma to introduce the Paraguardintrauterine device (IUD) into the US market. Pike further formed joint ventures with Schering AG and Hindustan Latex LTD. He also established an FDA compliant contraceptive pharmaceutical manufacturing plant in
Trivandrum, India, which was a joint public/private venture with the Indian Ministry of Health and funded by UNFPA and USAID. By the time J&J’s Ortho division acquired GynoPharma, FEI had expanded sales and distribution of the company’s contraceptive products into over 100 countries and was the world’s largest IUD manufacturer. While running FEI, Pike also formed Akcess Medical Co. and Enhance Pharmaceuticals. Akcess developed and commercialized the first dual fistula needle for dialysis patients and Enhance developed a silicone sylastic vaginal drug delivery ring; these two assets were acquired by Horizon Medical and Barr Laboratories, respectively. Over the decade following his purchase of FEI, Pike realized a return exceeding $100 million on his initial $1.1 million investment for FEI.
In the mid 1990’s, Pike created Danco Labs. Danco licensed the drug mifepristone from the Population Council, took it through the FDA and launched the abortion pill Mifeprex in 2000. Pike still retains a general partner interest in Danco.
Mr. Pike was also the founder and investor in several San Diego based biotech companies. Currently, he is the founder and lead investor in GalleonBio LLC which holds a portfolio of strontium-based bio-topical drugs based on strontium nitrate and its patented conjugates.
