Chief Commercial Officer, Ovation

ROLE MODELS: "Can do good and do well at the same time"

Burke has had the most fun with Sabril, which prior to Ovation sat at FDA "with an open Approvable Letter longer than any other product in history." But by collaborating with academics and advocates, Ovation filed a new NDA for infantile spasms, a condition with high unmet need.
