Commitment to C.O.R.E. Values: Curiosity, Optimism, Respect, and Equality
Tevogen Bio’s culture, known as C.O.R.E., underpins the company’s mission and fosters a collaborative environment built on Curiosity, Optimism, Respect, and Equality. These values are more than guiding principles—they are foundational to how Tevogen operates, empowering teams to push the boundaries of science while fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace.
“Tevogen’s C.O.R.E. values reflect leaderships commitment to embracing diverse perspectives, encouraging a readiness to learn, and creating solutions with a shared purpose,” said Victor Sordillo, Board Member of Tevogen Bio.
Ryan Saadi, MD, MPH, Founder and CEO, Tevogen Bio, commented, “I commend Tevogen’s leadership for steering the company’s remarkable growth strategy. With over three decades in this sector, I see Tevogen’s significant achievements since inception as a testament to the strength of our efficient business model. While excessive dilution at public listing, leaving founding teams with around 5% ownership, is common, Tevogen stands apart with 78% ownership intact. As we pursue ambitious growth, equity-based financing must never be an option. You can't make a difference without being different.”
