Roger Legtenberg, PhD

Co-Founder, Partners4Patients Foundation UG

Driven by a passion for reducing time-to-patient and transforming the life sciences industry, I am dedicated to empowering patients and enhancing the business ecosystem. My work focuses on the human aspect of the Drug Development Cycle, delivering strategic solutions that foster innovation, prioritize patient needs, and promote patient empowerment. I am one of the founders of Partners4Patients Foundation, whose mission is to catalyze goodwill and provide decisive support in setting up and organizing multi-stakeholder alliances while putting patients in the driver's seat. In 2020, I joined admedicum as a Senior Partner, becoming Co-Owner in 2022. Our team excels in patient-focused initiatives, integrating patient-centric practices into daily operations across Europe, the US, and Asia. Our consecutive wins of the International Life Sciences GHP Best Patient Engagement & Access Expert award in 2022 and 2023 underscore our commitment to excellence. With over 20 years in the life sciences sector, including over a decade as CEO of Clinical CRO and Biotech & Medtech startups, my deep industry knowledge is an asset. As CEO of PSR Orphan Experts (acquired by Ergomed Plc in 2017), I advanced progress by implementing lean principles and focusing on Rare Diseases, earning recognition with the CEO Today Europe 2018 award and the International Life Sciences GHP Drug Development CEO award.
