Suzy Jones at home with new venture

Suzy Jones' new biotech business development venture is about more than the deal; it’s about home.
Jones, who recently launched DNA Ink LLC to help guide small biotech companies in their deals with Big Pharma and Big Biotech, has set up her office in a Western Addition building that she owns. It’s an unlikely location — in a residential neighborhood, far from biotech havens Mission Bay or South San Francisco — but it is a structure that Jones helped renovate in the neighborhood where she grew up with her mother and two older sisters.

Suzy Jones is ready to make a deal.
The 20-year Genentech Inc. veteran — one of a handful of top executives to leave the South San Francisco-based biotech powerhouse since its acquisition by Roche Group — is launching her own business development firm aimed at helping small biotechs negotiate deals with Big Pharma and Big Biotech.
DNA Ink LLC already has two active clients ­— an oncology diagnostic company and a small molecule developer — and a couple more in the queue, Jones said. It charges on contingency, taking a cut as a percentage upfront or on the back end of a completed deal.
