Beady eyes are round and shiny usually with malice or greed like this.
BD eyes are often — but not always — squinty and narrow from research, research, research, networking, evaluation of potential partners, back-to-back face-to-face meetings, writing and reading term sheets, networking, negotiation and closing. Furrowed brows are optional. Think Clint Eastwood aka Squint Eastwood in High Plains Drifter.
See if you can spot which pairs of eyes below belong to the EpicentRx BD heads.
The answer is “all of them.” A is head of BD for AdAPT-001, Sa’ar Yaniv. B is head of BD for RRx-001 (nibrozetone), Babak Alizadeh. C is Sr Director Operations, Scott Caroen, who also moonlights as a BD head and D is CEO Tony Reid who directs all BD activities for AdAPT-001 and RRx-001.
Whereas Clint or Squint Eastwood’s catchphrase in Dirty Harry was “Go ahead, make my day” spoken in a raspy growl/snarl, these EpicentRx BD heads are more apt to say with enthusiasm and glee in the manner of super affable game show host, Monty Hall, shown below, “Go ahead, make a deal.”
