New York, NY. 06/03/25. Intelisci, a specialist advisory and executive search firm supporting high-growth biotech companies, is pleased to announce the appointment of Ann Corkum to its Scientific Advisory Board (SAB). With over 25 years of HR leadership experience spanning global pharma, commercial biotech, and early-stage startups, Ann brings deep expertise in business planning, organizational design and execution, and strategic people initiatives.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Ann to the Intelisci SAB,” said Matt Tong, CEO of Intelisci. “Founders are often faced with building teams while navigating complexity and limited resources. Ann brings a unique ability to bridge people strategy and business execution—especially critical in the earliest stages. She’s not just an HR expert; she’s a strategic partner to leadership.”

As part of Intelisci’s SAB, Ann will focus on helping founders and executive teams scale their organizations with clarity, designing talent strategies that align with rapid growth, scientific innovation, and evolving business needs.

Ann’s experience includes serving as consulting CHRO to biotech companies in transition, advising on overall people strategy, leadership development, team effectiveness, and fit-for-purpose systems that enable speed without compromising culture. Her approach—blending coaching, sharp business acumen, and a bias for simplicity—has made her a trusted advisor to executives across the life sciences.

“Ann understands the DNA of early-stage biotech,” said Roberta Duncan, Chief Strategy Officer at Arcturus Therapeutics and fellow SAB member. “She knows how to guide companies through the messy middle, when vision meets reality, and help build scalable foundations. Her voice will be incredibly valuable to the companies we support through Intelisci.”

Ann joins a distinguished group of industry leaders on the Intelisci SAB, united by a mission to support emerging biotechs in making better, faster, and smarter decisions from inception through inflection.
