David Thomson
David Thomson started in 2000 before the three-way merger that created MannKind Corporation from CTL ImmunoTherapies Corp., AlleCure Corp. and Pharmaceutical Development Corporation, all of which were majority-owned by Alfred Mann. Since then, he has been responsible for the company’s legal affairs, compliance matters, patents, and global business development activities as a member of the executive leadership team. David, who holds a Ph.D. in neuroscience and is the longest-serving MannKind employee, understands the importance of building upon Al’s legacy of helping people live fuller lives without limit. Prior to MannKind, David was an associate at Toronto-based Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg LLP. He earned his Juris Doctor degree from the University of Toronto. In addition to playing a leading role in MannKind’s growth through the development of strategic alliances, David feeds his love of soccer by volunteering for the American Youth Soccer Organization.
