Network Partners Group

Dean Molloy is the CEO of Network Partners Group (NPG), a Philadelphia-based company making waves in the life sciences industry. Under Dean’s leadership, NPG has become a go-to partner for medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and biopharma organizations aiming to advance life sciences for a healthier tomorrow.

While also serving on NPG’s Board of Directors, Dean helps steer the company’s growth and strategic vision. One of the things Dean is most passionate about is mentoring the next generation of life sciences professionals. Through NPG’s Leadership Programs, he helps up-and-coming talent in regulatory affairs, packaging, and quality engineering fast-track their careers, giving them valuable experience and connections to succeed in this ever-evolving field.

Before taking the helm at NPG, Dean built his career by growing professional services firms. He was instrumental in expanding Validant Consulting’s presence on both coasts of the US and across Europe, including a key hub in Ireland. Dean was pivotal in driving growth in the East Coast office, generating 50% of the revenue. He also holds two patents for a stent delivery device from his time with Boston Scientific—an example of his hands-on expertise in medical devices. From his time with Bayer Diagnostics and Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, he has a broad industry perspective.

Dean has led NPG through an incredible growth journey—boosting the company’s revenue by over 400% in the past six years, landing NPG on the Inc. 5000 list four years in a row. Along the way, Dean spearheaded the acquisition of FlexPro and launched Indeio, a talent acquisition firm focused specifically on life sciences.

Born and raised in Hollymount, County Mayo, Dean holds an MBA from Liverpool St. John Moore’s University and a Bachelor of Technology Degree in Electronics Manufacturing from the University of Limerick. Dean moved to the US with his family in 2010, and in 2023, they became US citizens.
