What It Takes to Win: Leadership, Strategy & Growth in the Life Sciences

Moderated by Stephen Rapundalo, PhD
Great science may spark innovation, but leadership and execution determine long-term success. Join Ravi Kiron, PhD, MBA, for an engaging conversation on the principles that drive high-performing life science organizations. Drawing on decades of experience as an executive, entrepreneur, and board advisor, Ravi will explore the decisions that distinguish organizations that succeed from those that struggle, and how leaders can translate innovation into enduring businesses.
