Business
Sometimes you meet people who radiate a presence, a calm sense-of-self, and you know there is hard-earned wisdom waiting to be shared. Quang Pham, Chairman and CEO of Westwood Therapeutics, Inc., is such a person. Going from a child refugee of the Vietnam War, to serving his adopted country as a Marine Corps officer and pilot, to successfully launching three separate biopharma/biotech companies since 2000 - and being named an EY Florida Entrepreneur of the Year in 2018, to boot - Quang’s life story reads like an improbable movie script (did we include he’s an award-winning author?). It certainly translates to an individual who can seize risk and create extraordinary success regardless of his environment. Whether you’re an early-stage startup seeking that hard-earned advice on how to prepare for a funding round, or a student wondering how a science degree could translate to a variety of career options, you won’t want to miss Episode 17 of Innovate Jax. Regardless of your intent, we guarantee you’ll leave inspired!
