Kevin Xu
Kevin Xu is the Chairman and CEO of ClinChoice, a global full-service contract research organization (CRO) with more than 30 years of history, roughly 4,000 staff, and operations across 15+ countries. He arrived in the corner office from the investor's side of the table: for over 15 years he was a Managing Director at Goldman Sachs, where he built and ran the firm's Asia-Pacific Healthcare and Life Sciences investing practice, leading deals across biotech, pharma, medtech, CROs/CDMOs and digital health. Trained in neuroscience and clinical psychology before finance, he is an outspoken advocate for destigmatizing mental illness and an unlikely wake-surfer.
