5 Questions With… 2020 Recap
In 2020 we introduced a new series titled “5 Questions With…” in an effort to spotlight individuals from across the BioHealth Capital Region and beyond. Providing this platform has allowed us to help share the stories of industry peers and show that there isn’t a single “right” way to becoming an industry success.
As the year wraps up and we look forward to 2021, we are also looking back to the 30 guests we’ve featured in this series. From CFOs to Scientists, Veterans to Venture Capitalists, Company Founders to Leadership who recently joined their current companies, and everyone inbetween.
