Q: What drew you to Long Grove?
A: First and foremost, to be part of a leaner and meaner team! This industry moves quickly and so does the technology that supports it, so it’s gratifying to be at a company that is nimble enough to keep up. I also love that at Long Grove, I can choose to wear as many hats as I’d like.
Q: What motivates you?
A: Our mission—to deliver differentiated pharmaceuticals with purpose—and particularly the phrase “with purpose.” We are all here for a reason, and it shows. You can draw a straight line from our daily actions to the lives that are changed and saved by the products we make.
Q: What excites you about the future of this industry?
A: I’m excited about how AI will advance pharmaceutical manufacturing. It has potential to streamline regulatory pathways and improve how we develop and scale medicines. I’m optimistic that regulators will continue to embrace it, and that will lead to more effective therapies for more patients, optimized production processes, and a more efficient regulatory approval discipline with enhanced rigor.
