This week, we had an insightful conversation with Leen Kawas, PhD, Managing General Partner at Propel Bio Partners. She shared her journey from studying pharmacy to founding a successful company (with a great exit) and now running a venture fund. She emphasizes the business case for the importance of DEI in the company leadership and in clinical trials. We also touched on tips on managing conflict in teams, fostering healthy communication, and the value of building a strong network and connections in the industry.Propel Bio PartnersLink in with Leen!Connect with us!Link In with CarinaLink In with AlisonCheck out our three most downloaded episodes:Applying the Flagship “What If” Approach to Talent Acquisition With Leslie Martin, VP of Talent Acquisition at Flagship PioneeringA Biotech Built on Culture & Community with Adam Thomas, Chief People Officer at SynlogicIngraining Diversity into the Business Bloodline with Tiffany Summerville at Sherlock BiosciencesSubscribe here:AppleSpotifyGoogle PodcastRSS feedLearn more about Recruitomics ConsultingCheck out our reading listDownload our free startup resources guide to grow your biotech efficientlyIf you're on the job market, visit the Collaboratory Career Hub
