Domus Search - The European BioTech, Pharma & MedTech C-Suite Leadership Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Delighted, as ever, to share a conversation with inspirational leader, Co-Founder & CEO of Awakn Life Sciences, Anthony Tennyson. 

I am proud to call Awakn Life Sciences a client, having worked closely with COO James Collins, Anthony, Steve Page and other leaders in the business on the Chief Medical Officer  Search, ultimately successfully completing with the appointment Dr Arun Dhandayudham. 

Anthony's journey is impressive, and he has built, alongside his co-founders, a world changing and literally mind-altering organisation in Awakn Life Sciences.  

You know that the treatment of addiction, something that affects over 20% of the world's population, is in safe hands, when you listen to Anthony speak. 

Throughout this podcast, it would be very hard for you to imagine what Nixon & the DEA were thinking in 1960!! You'll have to listen to the show to find out what they were thinking!  

Awakn Life Sciences is a revenue-generating biotechnology company who are researching, developing, and commercialising therapeutics to treat addiction with a near-term focus on Alcohol Use Disorder. With a unique blend of the drug (psychedelic) and professional therapy, delivered within the state of the art Awakn Clinics.  

You will also see that Co-Founder, Dr Ben Sessa was recently featured on the Netflix Docuseries, 'How To Change Your Mind.'  

During the podcast, Anthony and I discussed (amongst many other things):  

• Anthony's career and ultimately the journey to being Co-Founder & CEO of Awakn Life Sciences 
• Industry collaborations within the Psychedelic & Psychotherapy sectors (Working together to solve the bigger problems)
• The Talent Crunch inBioTech, CNS & Psychedelic Industries ( and how to solve it) and the Talent Agenda for Awakn Life Siences
• The huge success rate of 86% that Awakn are seeing. (where other treatment and therapies are in single digit success rate to treat the same addictions)
• Netflix And much more......
