With the scorched earth of recent pharma launches, it makes you ask, "if we hire great people, have stellar leaders, and a unique value proposition, will it make a difference?" Answer- YES. Congrats to Axsome Therapeutics, Inc. on their full year results... launch year results, that is! Watching their initial commercial build- they got some amazing people (Mark Podkladek, Elizabeth Carveth Nunes, Brad Raudabaugh Stacy Wilson and David Jenkins, MSOL, Ed.D as just few examples of many). Then they expanded- which is a telling move. Because a company's initial behaviors speak to the marketplace of talent- which controls who is willing to show up. As my old boss would say, we don't want sh*tbirds, we need eagles. They got eagles. So a hat-tip to Axsome for betting on people to get it right. If the people don't believe in the company or the product, no customer should or will believe the message enough to offer that product to patients. Lesson- in the crazy biz of biotech... yes, the good folks can win. #pharma #biotech #launch #peoplefirst
Great People always make the difference. Congratulations on a successful year!
Doesn’t get any better than some of those people. Keep up the great work.
Thanks FFD ! It's truly an honor to soar with the eagles on this team!
