On this episode, we’re diving into the fascinating world of biopharmaceuticals with a leader who's been at the helm of innovation and change in this critical field.
Joining us is Jennifer Good, the co-founder, President, and CEO of Trevi Therapeutics—a company dedicated to developing groundbreaking treatments for patients with chronic cough conditions, where no approved options currently exist. Jennifer's leadership has guided Trevi since its inception in 2011, and her journey in the pharmaceutical industry is nothing short of inspiring.
But what does it really take to lead a company that's on the cutting edge of such important work? How do you navigate the complexities of the biopharmaceutical world while striving to improve patients' lives? We’ll also discuss some solid business advice, what Jennifer does to disconnect, what inspires her and so much more. Let’s get UpFront with Jennifer Good.
