Full bio
Glen Froio began his career at Motion Recruitment — now one of the world’s leading staffing firms — progressing over eleven years from entry-level sales to Senior Vice President of Sales and Operations. That experience building and scaling a national recruiting organization became the foundation for what followed.
In 2003, Glen became President and CEO of NorthPoint Solutions — leading the firm over eleven years to 150+ professionals across two distinct practices, both acquired by leading industry players: NorthPoint Financial by ACA Compliance Group in 2014, and NorthPoint Digital by Ernst & Young in 2015, forming EY’s Digital and Emerging Technologies practice. He subsequently served as Partner and Business Unit Leader at ACA Group, scaling the firm’s regulatory technology business from startup to more than $35 million in recurring revenue.
Glen joined T-Rex Biopharma in 2022 as Managing Partner, bringing that operating background to bear on the commercial talent challenges of the emerging biopharma space. He leads client strategy, business development, and engagement management — owning the project architecture, the client relationship, and the operational infrastructure that ensures each T-Rex engagement is delivered with the accountability and rigor that critical commercial builds require.
