In this episode, Chief Business Officer Kim Kushner talks with Dr. Carrie Brownstein, SVP Medical at SSI Strategy, about how to think through the fit between a biotech leader and their company’s stage of development.
Carrie shares lessons from her own path from large pharma to biotech and how different kinds of experience shape what a CMO can offer at different points in a company’s growth. They talk about building the right kind of support team, knowing your own limits, and making space for others when it’s time.
Topics include:
- How to assess your readiness for a CMO role
- Why no single background covers everything a biotech will need
- The value of building a team that fills in the gaps
- Learning to ask the questions that matter
It’s a thoughtful discussion for anyone thinking about leadership fit—not just titles.
Listen to hear Carrie’s perspective on what makes a CMO effective, and how to stay aligned with what your company really needs.
