Lizelle Gouverneur

I lead on business development, contracting, and intellectual property management for CVIM, driving the commercial, contractual, and partnership frameworks that enable CVIM to bridge the divide between early‑stage research and late‑stage product development.

Alongside my CVIM responsibilities, I am the Head of Business Development at The Pirbright Institute, where I oversee knowledge exchange, commercialisation, institute‑level contracts, and strategic partnerships.

I am committed to building collaborative, equitable pathways that ensure innovative vaccine technologies can move efficiently from the laboratory to the field, ultimately delivering real‑world benefits for farmers, livestock, and communities globally.
