As a member of the executive leadership team, he spearheaded operational improvements that drove growth in the company’s existing portfolio of pipeline assets. He joined Radius in 2017 as vice president of finance. Before that, Mr. Dolan had a 12-year career at Shire Pharmaceuticals (acquired by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company in 2019), where he held multiple finance positions of increasing responsibility during his tenure at the company. Most recently, he served as vice president, finance-global product strategy, where he was the finance lead responsible for medium to long-term strategic direction across Shire’s entire portfolio of products. Mr. Dolan received his MBA and BS in Accounting from Widener University (Chester, PA).
