Bob Coughlin and Travis McCready worked together for more than four years as the two most prominent promoters of the stateâs life sciences industry, while leading separate organizations.
Now, theyâll be together again but this time itâs under the same roof. Coughlin will be leaving the Massachusetts Biotechnology Council at the end of January to join commercial real estate giant JLLâs Boston office. There, heâll work alongside McCready, the former head of the quasi-public Massachusetts Life Sciences Center.
