Board Chair/Director. Prev Founder & CEO, Acorda Therapeutics. Evaluating new opportunities.
Great interview with Kerry Clem, our Chief Commercial Officer at Acorda Therapeutics, Inc. on #leadership, how to hire, how to prepare for advancement within your company, right sizing your organization , the changing landscape of #biopharma commercialization, roles of #AI and #digital, and more. "I'm not a big "rah rah" guy.… As mature professionals, a lot of our motivation needs to be internal.... As a leader, it's important to keep the shared objective in front of everyone at all times...to show them how the things they're doing tieback to us hitting and driving that shared objective."
‘I’ve always had the attitude that whatever is needed, wherever you need me to fill in, just let me know and we’ll take it on. I think that was one of the main things that helped me to elevate and grow.’ For this episode of the Chief Commercial Officer series, I was joined by Kerry Clem, CCO at Acorda Therapeutics, Inc. Kerry has taken progressively senior roles at Acorda since joining as VP of Sales in 2011. Here, we discussed the use of AI in commercial settings, building teams ahead of launches, and the gap between failure and success when going to market. Kerry also has some great advice for execs looking to become CCOs themselves – tune in to hear more! #lifesciences #healthcare #commercialisation #leadership #talent
