He studied at INSEAD and Henley Business Schools and started his career in Biochemistry in Newcastle, England. He began working in the pharmaceutical industry for Eli Lilly and then moved to Lundbeck where he ran the UK sales and Marketing division. Following Lundbeck, Geoff spent 15 years with ICI Pharmaceuticals and AstraZeneca (AZ) and led the AZ merger process in all ex-US markets. Geoff then became Global SVP for CNS and Oncology drugs at AZ, an $8 billion-dollar business. Following AZ, Geoff transitioned into biotech and consulting where he assisted many major companies on launch strategy, leadership development, and positioning. Mr. Birkett joined Ensysce in 2018.
