Cision PR Newswire Breaking Barriers: Tiamat Sciences Shatters Norms with All-Female Executive Team News provided by Tiamat Sciences Jan 24, 2024, 6:00 AM ET DURHAM, N.C., Jan. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Tiamat Sciences Corporation (Tiamat) is reinventing recombinant proteins to fuel the next generation of biotech companies across regenerative medicine, vaccine production, and more. Using the power of plants, Tiamat provides animal-free recombinant proteins at a fraction of their typical cost with a reduced carbon footprint. At the helm of Tiamat is CEO and Co-Founder France-Emmanuelle Adil. France is a visionary leader with a decade of experience in the pharmaceutical industry. France has established and grown Tiamat into a formidable presence in the plant-based biomolecule landscape, offering ecologically sound and ethically sourced raw materials to biotechnology companies, public research labs, and pharmaceutical actors. As a female CEO, France has made it her mission to increase gender diversity in an industry where women are underrepresented. "Being a CEO is difficult for everyone, and women leaders are scarce in the biotech industry, which makes it hard to find role models. There are times when I struggle to obtain the respect and attention I deserve. Unfortunately, mine is not a unique experience among women CEOs. This is a systemic issue, where we must constantly prove that we deserve our seat at the table." -France-Emmanuelle AdilTiamat CEO, Co-Founder According to the National Science Foundation, women occupy only 18% of roles in biotechnology. Despite significant advancements in STEM fields, the underrepresentation of women remains a critical issue. Promoting gender diversity in the workplace is not merely a matter of sentiment but is substantiated by empirical evidence indicating that businesses with increased female representation tend to achieve greater success. Companies with a minimum of 30% female leaders show 50% higher revenue growth compared to their counterparts.  -Peterson Institute for International Economics and EY Companies with diverse leadership, particularly women-led, outperform companies where only 10-30% of the team is woman-led. -McKinsey & Company Companies with at least one woman on their board tend to have better financial performance. -Credit Suisse Research Institute Companies with higher female representation in leadership positions exhibited higher returns on equity, better stock price performance, and improved profitability. -Credit Suisse Research Institute Companies in the top quartile for gender diversity on executive teams were 25% more likely to have above-average profitability compared to companies in the bottom quartile. -McKinsey & Company The benefits are clear, companies who embrace women in leadership outperform their counterparts. At Tiamat, CEO and Co-Founder France-Emmanuelle Adil is committed to fostering a balanced representation on her team. This isn't just about meeting statistics; it's about driving innovation, creating more inclusive solutions, and propelling Tiamat toward a future that is both equitable and prosperous. Tiamat is proud to announce the addition of two female executives: Prathima Archaya as VP of Operations and Montana Wagner-Gillespie as Chief of Staff. "Assembling this executive team is a tipping point in Tiamat's evolution. I think that diverse leaders bring diverse solutions to challenging problems. Tiamat needed structure and direction to scale. I am so thankful to have this team in place to bring passion and innovative solutions to our next phase of growth." -France-Emmanuelle AdilTiamat CEO, Co-Founder Prathima Acharya, PhD., VP of Operations (left, team photo)- Prathima is a seasoned executive with over 20 years of experience in the biotech industry with expertise in the development and manufacturing of biotech products leading to IND/BLA filings.

Montana Wagner-Gillespie, Chief of Staff (right, team photo)- Montana is a dynamic leader with a proven track record in program management and over 10 years of industry experience in biotech and healthcare.
