Board

Executive Chairman Paul Rennie leads Paradigm’s team of Directors, providing guidance and oversight across the company’s activities to deliver shareholder value over the long term.

Cognisant of the fact that some of medicine’s greatest opportunities may never have come to light due to the limitations of the technology of the time, the critical eye of the Paradigm board is invaluable in the company quest to discover the true potential of molecules historically taken for granted.
