ChemE Leadership Seminar: Andy Walker, GentiBio
Co-founder, President & Chief Operating Officer

Andy will join us to share stories and insights from his experience in the biotech industry.  The focus of the discussion will be on how each of us can grow as leaders through challenging times, how we can practice our values, and how we can build a legacy.  Andy hopes that his stories will be valuable and, if he is lucky, judged to be at least somewhat entertaining.
