Our Origin Story


Co-founded by strategic thought leaders Greg Dombal who led Halloran and Geoff Meyerson who leads Locust Walk, Franklin brings an entrepreneurial mindset that allows clients to leverage our deep knowledge and proven execution experience. We help you efficiently navigate complex regulatory and development hurdles with confidence.
Ben Franklin is the namesake of the main road through UNC Chapel Hill, alma mater of CEO Greg Dombal, and founder of the University of Pennsylvania, alma mater of Co-founder Geoff Meyerson.
His innovation, entrepreneurial mindset, and creativity permeate our culture and inspire our team to develop the next generation of therapeutic breakthroughs.
Ben’s ability to draw from diverse disciplines enabled him to solve complex problems and create lasting impact, a philosophy we apply to drug development.
