Stand Up to Stand Out

What makes the best leaders? How do you get genuine buy-in from your team? What’s the best way to stand up for your beliefs, even when it’s hard? We’ll hear insights, ideas, and actionable advice from Harry Kraemer, former CEO of Baxter Healthcare. We recently discussed leading with values, the power of communication, and much more.

He works with pioneering biotechs, technology companies, and healthcare companies and regularly presents at universities and tech incubators like the Harvard Innovation Lab. He’s also a former stand-up comedian and is a yellow belt in Judo... which strikes fear into absolutely no one.
