Leaders in Life Sciences – #33 Wiesje van der Flier

In the Leaders in Life Sciences podcast, our host Henk Jan Out engages in conversations with leaders of now and soon in the life sciences sector. This episode’s guest is Wiesje van der Flier.

We believe that people in the sector should talk more about themselves and their work. This starts with today’s leaders, who share insights into their careers and motivations. These leaders come from all areas of the industry, but they all have one thing in common: a mission to contribute to improving global health.

The guests who join Leaders in Life Sciences on a monthly basis are CEOs, scientists, politicians, young leaders, entrepreneurs. They engage in conversations with Henk Jan Out about their personal and professional activities. In short, extraordinary stories from extraordinary guests that we will share with you, because there needs to be more insight for this shared mission.
