Je­re­my Levin spot­lights a trendy new way to build a pipeline with his $86M IPO for Ovid

Je­re­my Levin is a trend-set­ter.  A decade ago he helped fash­ion the whole leg­endary “String of Pearls” mod­el for Bris­tol-My­ers as strat­e­gy chief. He was prob­a­bly a lit­tle ahead of his time — though per­fect­ly in sync with the in­dus­try — in look­ing to re­struc­ture Te­va as phar­ma was ap­ply­ing the ax lib­er­al­ly to bloat­ed, un­pro­duc­tive or­ga­ni­za­tions when he took over in 2012. And af­ter he got bounced by the Te­va board just 18 months lat­er, he jumped in­to neu­ro­sciences and formed Ovid Ther­a­peu­tics as a wave of up­starts looked to use new tech­nolo­gies and sci­en­tif­ic in­sights to re­vive a strug­gling field.
