Leadership
Rome Pharma Group is led by Jonathan Rome, an executive and entrepreneur with more than 40 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry.
Alongside the founding of Rome Pharma Group in 2012, Jonathan co-founded and served as CEO of Patagonia Pharmaceuticals, a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative prescription therapies for rare dermatological diseases. After a successful Phase 2 study, Patagonia sold a majority of its assets to Timber Pharmaceuticals (NYSE: TMBR) in 2019.
Jonathan served as Chairman of the Board at Crown Laboratories, Inc., a fully integrated specialty pharmaceutical company focused on topical dermatological products. Jonathan's leadership in this role helped successfully facilitate the sale of a majority stake to Hildred Capital Partners in 2017.
In 2000, Jonathan started ThePharmaNetwork (TPN), LLC, an API procurement and product development company with offices in New Jersey, Connecticut, Shanghai, and Rome. Ascend Laboratories, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of TPN, was started in 2003 as a generic pharmaceutical development and Sales & Marketing company. Ascend became the 3rd fastest growing generic drug company in 2011 (IMS Health). In 2012, TPN and Ascend were acquired by one of the largest Indian pharmaceutical companies, Alkem Laboratories, Ltd.
In 1989, Jonathan joined Zenith Laboratories, Inc. as the Executive Vice President of the team assembled to bring the Company out of bankruptcy. In less than 5 years, Zenith grew from $28 million in sales to over $250 million, leading to the Company's acquisition by Ivax Pharmaceuticals, In.c for $600 million in 1994.
Jonathan's extensive experience in nearly all aspects of the pharmaceutical industry help him lead the team at Rome Pharma Group to provide unparalleled services to clients across the globe.
