Last week our Victoria L. Reichenberg, MS, PCC joined José Trevejo, MD, PhD, Michelle Graham, and Jigar Raythatha as panelists at the 2023 Boston Chief Medical Officers Network Event. The group discussed strategies for Biotech CMOs to survive and thrive while managing rapid organizational growth and culture in an ever-changing business environment. Key takeaways: · Self-awareness is foundational – Knowing who you are as a leader (strengths, values, ways of working) makes you more effective, no matter the size of the organization. · Team health at the C-Suite level is critical – And is essential to connect across functional areas and lead with an enterprise perspective. · Mindset needs to evolve as organizations scale – The hands-on engagement that works in early stages isn’t sustainable or even desirable during periods of rapid growth. · Scale your internal systems with intention – How you thread the needle from relying on relationships in early stage to relying on processes as your organization grows makes all the difference. Special thanks to Timothy Peters-Strickland for organizing this engaging and high-impact event!
