I’ve never believed that life science companies should only hire from within the industry. In fact, I’ve proven repeatedly that looking outside our industry is a huge advantage. Some of the best hires I’ve made have come from law, finance and hospitality. They bring business acumen and people skills that are not easy to teach. With the right selection process and training, they can be in front of customers in just three weeks. The industry’s fear of hiring outside its bubble isn’t just outdated – it’s limiting. The real risk isn’t hiring from outside. It’s missing out on incredible talent.
