Molecule to Market: Inside the outsourcing space

The impact of a CEO who loves to work


Listen Later

In this episode of Molecule to Market, you’ll go inside the outsourcing space of the global drug development sector with Jeanne Taylor Hecht, Chief Executive Officer and Chairwoman at Lexitas.

Your host, Raman Sehgal, discusses the pharmaceutical and biotechnology supply chain with Jeanne, covering:

  • How Jeanne's various roles have equipped her to become a more rounded CEO and board member.
  • How a stint in Asia led Jeanne to develop her strategy playbook, including the importance of the client's voice.
  • Jeanne's journey, taking on eight different boards and becoming a serial investor and advisor... and how that did not happen by accident. She said that having a strong relationship with a PE firm and missing the hands-on, day-to-day role of being a CEO led her back to the hot seat.
  • Understanding why has being a specialist ophthalmology CRO given Lexitas traction with small to medium biotechs, and what is the future in store for CROS?
  • Jeanne's industry career spanned over twenty-five years as a Board member and Chief Executive Officer of multiple companies, including CEO at Ora and Senior Executive at Median Technologies, IQVIA, Decision Biomarkers, and the UNC Oncology Protocol Office. Jeanne also launched and expanded a Life Sciences consulting practice that supported companies with sales, marketing, and market growth strategies and advisory and board work. She is primarily motivated by helping to bring relief to patients. 

    Jeanne is an active Advisory Board Member for the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill Kenan-Flagler’s Business School and Lecturer at the business school. She contributed to the creation of Wake Forest University’s master’s in clinical research program and remains an active industry advisor to the school. She holds a Bachelor of Science from the University of Michigan and a Master of Business Administration from the university’s Ross School of Business.
