Reno, Nevada–(Newsfile Corp. – March 2, 2026) – Conexeu Sciences Inc. (“Conexeu” or the “Company”), a biotechnology innovator redefining regenerative medicine through a next-generation extracellular matrix platform, is pleased to announce Jean-Romain (JR) Falconnet as Head of Business Development & Licensing.
In his role at Conexeu, JR will lead business development, licensing strategy, and strategic partnerships—supporting the company’s growth roadmap and expanding opportunities to bring Conexeu innovations to additional markets and partners.
JR is a senior finance, transformation, and corporate development executive with 25+ years of experience advising CEOs, boards, and private equity sponsors through high-impact strategic moments including M&A, carve-outs, divestitures, IPO readiness, restructuring, and exits. He brings a track record spanning $15B+ in strategic transactions, with deep expertise in life sciences, medical aesthetics, and consumer health.
Since late 2024, as the Founder of Allyght Advisory, he has provided strategic counsel and hands-on leadership to organizations navigating complex growth phases. Specializing in strategic planning and corporate development, he frequently serves in interim executive capacities. Previously, across a distinguished 23-year tenure at Galderma, JR held a series of leadership, operational finance, and business development roles, executing diverse global transactions. Most recently, as Head of Transactions, he partnered closely with the Executive Committee and shareholders (EQT-led consortium) on the company’s strategic exit planning, culminating in a successful IPO on the SIX Swiss Exchange in March 2024.
Throughout his career, JR has been a pivotal architect of Galderma’s corporate evolution. He notably served as the Finance Stream Lead during the landmark $10.2B sale of Galderma from Nestlé to EQT in 2019. His deep expertise spans the full transaction lifecycle—including buy-side and sell-side mandates, acquisitions, and divestitures—positioning him as a strategic leader at the intersection of high-stakes finance and operational excellence.
“JR is a rare blend of strategic rigor and hands-on execution,” said Miles Harrison, President & CEO of Conexeu. “He has led complex transactions and partnerships at the highest levels in medical aesthetics and life sciences. As we scale Conexeu, JR will be instrumental in expanding our licensing and partnership ecosystem and accelerating value creation.”
“JR’s depth across corporate development, portfolio strategy, and private equity environments is a strong fit for where Conexeu is headed,” said Jeff Sharpe, Chairman of the Board. “We’re building an exceptional leadership team, and JR’s track record in licensing and strategic transactions will help us move faster with the right partners.”
