ELabNYC Mentors

Paul Fehlner is a life sciences lawyer and pharmaceutical consultant with a strong intellectual property focus who partners with research institutes, startups, and Fortune 500’s to help them transform basic scientific discoveries into life-changing products and services around the world.

The defining purpose throughout my 30-year career is to help in discovering, developing, and marketing innovations that help people obtain better health outcomes and lead more meaningful lives.

My strength is my ability to implement a broad style of thinking, incorporating not only my knowledge of IP law and science, but history, economics, neuroscience, and literature.

As a leader, I seek collaboration, empowerment, and accountability by establishing a culture of transparency and mutual respect. My colleagues feel like they have achieved something important.

I believe each person contributes to the success of an enterprise, from the custodian to the CEO. And my team, colleagues, and clients see that in my leadership.
