The Challenges of Transitioning from Medicine to Industry: "when you're going into the industry landscape, it's a completely different picture because you can be trying your best and you may continue to face the same blockers without really being clear on why that's happening, because the rules are quite different. Like, for example, in medicine, if you're like, if you pass this, then you'll get this. Whereas in industry it's like, well, you might or might not get it, depending you could be amazing and still not get that job."

Quotes:
"Control Over Career Choices in Medicine: And I thought, I just want to have control over my career and control over knowing where I want to be in 5-10 years time. And I felt that that wasn't happening in the NHS."
— Guy Gross
"Translating Medical Skills to Business: So one of the amazing things that doctors do that other people don't is look at things through a lens of logic. You've got your surgical sieve. You ask questions like, is it before, during or after an organ where you've got a problem? Business is no different. When I consider problems in business, I look at things, is it presales? Is it the problem with landing the sale? Or is it the after sales, for example? And it's a very logical application where we are able to rapidly put together frameworks, I would say more doctors than I know other people around how to solve problems, and that's a massive win."

Challenges in Career Transition for Doctors: "I think for me it was the fact that I'd invested what seemed to, at the time seemed to be at the time, a lot of my life, getting into medicine, training, et cetera, et cetera, and only to throw it all away for another career."
— Dr. Yuki Nehikhare
Modern Job Market Demands: "I think there is more of an emphasis on how do you problem solve, how do you work in a crisis moment, how do you work collaboratively across teams with internal and external stakeholders, how much commercial acumen do you have at this stage?"
— Dr. Yuki Nehikhare
The Importance of Self-Promotion for Physicians: "And, yeah, it's a skill that not many doctors organically have when it comes to themselves, just because of the culture that we say grow up in, in medicine, particularly in the UK, I should say it's a little bit different elsewhere. But, yeah, it is an essential skill that you definitely need to learn to survive in industry."
— Dr. Yuki Nehikhare
Transitioning from Academia to Industry: "It's similar in the sense that moving to industry, even though there aren't really any kind of written rules, there are kind of rules, right? It's a lot more nuanced. There's a different culture and again, it's about understanding what the culture is, particularly for the sector that you're going to or even the company that you're going into or that you're really committed to."
— Dr. Yuki Nehikhare
The Value of Networking at In-Person Events: "But yeah, the benefits of attending events in person strongly outweighs, particularly now when we're kind of we've all got digital fatigue. Post COVID strongly outweighs the online in the sense that you get to meet people in person, you get the chemistry, the language you mentioned, which is a really important part of that as well, especially if you're new to the sector and it can open up so many opportunities."

"Personal Growth and Self-Recognition: But when it comes to growing yourself, it's very much about identifying what are your own superpowers. And when I look at that for myself, it's taken me a very long time, probably 15-20 years, to identify in myself what makes me unique as a person. I would say the ability to walk into a room full of smoke and just point directly to the fire."
— Guy Gross
"Understanding Corporate Lifecycle: I've also realized there's different phases of companies, and this is something you don't realize unless you've been through a lot of this. There is the founder part of a journey, which is the ability to overcome inertia with a group of people who have the oomph behind them to stick it out and just get it done by any means necessary. Then you have the growth phase where once you've proved that you've got a thing that works, you need to scale it. A totally different set of skills around identifying, optimizing and managing things as they grow. And then once you're big, you just want someone who's a safe pair of hands to run that. And so you have to identify where you fit in the lifecycle of companies as well, with your temperament and with your skill set."
— Guy Gross
"Understanding Health Tech Failure: The reason why a lot of health tech fails is they completely fail to understand that. If you're talking about a narrative of keeping people well for another ten years and preventing long term disease, the challenge with that is if I'm an investor in that as a health system, then I'm not going to see my money back for ten years. But if I can help you now identify people who are continuously coming back to hospital and stop those people coming back, then that's in year savings."
