Director,Global FP&A
BioMarin is the world leader in delivering therapeutics that provide meaningful advances to patients who live with serious and life-threatening rare genetic diseases. We target diseases that lack effective therapies and affect relatively small numbers of patients, many of whom are children.

BioMarin will continue to focus on advancing therapies that are the first or best of their kind.
