The pharma and biotech industry is one of the most complex to work in. Navigating regulations, boom-or-bust start-up companies, and complex compensation can make it hard to predict how your career will progress.

Today, we have the honor of interviewing Sherri Kemp of Kemps Connections. She is approaching 20 years of executive recruiting, helping high-performing executives reach new levels of success and purpose in their careers. Along the way, she found a sweet spot in pharma.
