Fireside Chat with John Crowley, President and CEO of the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO)
Enjoy Day at the Capitol in a fresh, new format, featuring a fireside chat moderated by Elyse Blazevich, President and CEO of CBSA. Elyse will lead an engaging conversation with John F. Crowley, President and CEO of the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO), the world’s largest biotechnology advocacy organization. Crowley, a longtime BIO board member, was most recently the Founder and Executive Chairman of Amicus Therapeutics, a global biotechnology company focusing on developing treatments for rare genetic diseases. He served as CEO of Amicus from 2005 to 2022.
John’s decades of biotech experience and deep passion for the field have made him a strong supporter of policies that empower innovation, enable entrepreneurship, and put people and patients first. His involvement with biotechnology stems from the 1998 diagnosis of two of his children with Pompe disease—a severe and often fatal neuromuscular disorder.
