In 2009, he became Chairman and CEO of Gemin X Pharmaceuticals after joining board in July 2008, he was formerly the chief executive officer of Bristol-Myers Squibb before being discharged from that company in September 2006 as a result of a federal investigation into questions concerning the patent of drug Plavix.

The son of John Ralph Dolan and Lois Burkhart, Peter Dolan was born in Salem, Massachusetts on January 6, 1956. Dolan attended Tufts University earning a B.A. in 1978 before going to the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College to earn his M.B.A. in 1980. While at Tufts, he joined Delta Upsilon Fraternity. He wed former executive director of Saint Joseph's Hospital Katherine Helen Lange, with whom he shares two children.

In 1983, Dolan began working at General Foods, rising to general product manager by 1986. In 1988, he took a job at Bristol-Myers Squibb. While at Bristol, Dolan was involved in developing the cancer-treating medication Erbitux, as well as, before becoming chief executive officer, making the consumer products and medical device divisions of Bristol successful. Dolan became CEO in May, 2001, replacing Charles Heimbold. Subsequently, Bristol was involved in a major financial scandal when, in the words of a Reuters report, it "was accused of exaggerating revenue by $2 billion from 2000 to 2001 by coaxing wholesalers to buy far more of its drugs than they could hope to sell". The company avoided criminal charges by accepting probation in June 2005, and Dolan brought in former United States federal judge Frederick B. Lacey to act as an adviser to Bristol.
