Jennifer Andrews: Hi everyone and welcome to the very first episode of the Scientist to CEO podcast, co-hosted by me, Jennifer Andrews, and Erica Sosnowski. In this short trailer, we’ll share a quick intro on what you can expect from each episode, the topics we’ll cover and the kinds of things you’ll learn. We’ll also share some of our own journeys so you understand how we came to be doing the work we’re doing today.

Erica Sosnowski: On this podcast, we’ll bring you interviews with life science leaders who have made the leap from science to business and are navigating all the challenges that come with growing their companies. Each guest’s appearance will take the format of a mini case study. It won’t be a science deep dive, but more so a conversation around the exact marketing and BD strategies they used to achieve a specific outcome. Sometimes this will be a win or achievement and how they did it (with tips you can use). Other times it will be a lesson learned or a story about something that didn’t go so well but taught some valuable lessons that we think you should know.
