NEW YORK, May 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Gustavo Mahler joins Dynamk Capital as a Venture Partner after leaving his 10 year tenure with AGC Biologics (formerly CMC Biologics). Under his leadership as CEO of AGC Biologics, the company grew to become a leader in biologics contract development and manufacturing with operations in the United States, Europe, and Asia. Gustavo comes to Dynamk Capital with a wealth of industry knowledge specifically related to the development and commercialization of biologics. While at AGC Biologics, he successfully supported clients from pre-clinical through commercial production for over 150 biologics programs, while successfully guiding customers through the regulatory approval processes.
