Having worked with multiple biotech companies over the years, I’ve been consistently impressed by the energy, innovation, and dedication of the people behind them. 

These are teams working on incredibly complex problems, often with limited time and funding, who have a real commitment to bringing new treatments to patients who need them. 

One thing I’ve learned is that success in biotech isn’t just about great science, it’s about having the right team in place. 

Over the next week or so, I’m going to share a short series of videos covering the key C-suite roles that I’ve seen help biotech companies succeed – from early-stage discovery through to clinical development and beyond. 

I’ll look at how each role contributes uniquely to overcoming the substantial challenges of bringing new therapies to patients. And I’ll introduce an executive function that I believe is currently missing, but is going to be increasingly vital for achieving success in the future.
