Ruchi is the Head of Product at Generate:Biomedicines. Before that, she was at the Broad Institute for 11 years, with her last role being Associate Director of Product Management.
Both of us spend a lot of time thinking about fundamental questions like “what is a PM in a biotech company?” and “when should a biotech company consider product practices and product thinking?”. This led to a fascinating and valuable discussion about our work and the companies we work with.
Here is what we discussed in this episode:
What’s biotech? And how does it relate to terms like pharma, healthcare and life sciences, and healthcare tech?
What’s the “tech” in biotech?
What does a PM do in the context of biotech?
Who's doing the product work and wearing the PM hat in a biotech company?
How did Ruchi answer the question "What's a product manager in a biotech company" in her interviews?
Bonus question: what are some tech product management best practices that don't work as well in biotech?
This community is small - we gotta find each other! See contact info below.
