As one of the most recent hires, I’m excited to be part of the RiverVest team. RiverVest is well positioned to continue successfully investing in biopharma and medical device innovation. Having also recently relocated to St. Louis, I find the City to be energizing and welcoming, and I am thrilled to be in a position where I can play a role in building its start-up innovation eco-system.
Sivan joined RiverVest in 2019 as Chief Financial Officer, overseeing the firm’s financial operations, including those related to its various funds, portfolio company investments, and management company.
