Let’s Talk About: Female Life Science CEO’s

This past March, 24 female biotech CEOs gathered for a retreat in Arizona to foster relationships and discuss ways to sponsor other women in the life science industry. In an effort to continue this discussion, Biocom California has the privilege of featuring a few of these powerhouse CEOs at this event and connecting them with our members.

Only 23 percent of biotech CEOs identifying as women, according to a 2021 Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) report. It’s important that our industry comes together to redefine what authentic leadership means and continue to move the needle on diversity in the pursuit of supporting women in the industry. Join us as we take time to celebrate some of our industry’s top leaders in life science, while furthering our ally-ship and confronting the challenges women face in the workplace.
