Founder & CEO, Royalty Pharma

Pablo Legorreta is the Founder and CEO of Royalty Pharma. Formed in 1996, Royalty Pharma is the industry leader in acquiring revenue-producing intellectual property, with over $12 billion in assets.

Royalty Pharma is a rapidly growing biopharmaceutical company with revenue and EBITDA in 2014 of $1.97 billion and $1.94 billion, respectively.

Prior to Royalty Pharma, Mr. Legorreta had a 10 year career as an M&A banker at Lazard Frères — from 1987 to 1990 at Lazard Frères et Cie (Paris) and from 1990 to 1996 at Lazard Frères & Co.
