John Brooks, III, Managing Director, Healthcare Capital, LLC (Former CEO of Joslin Diabetes Center)
I have been with The BioExec Institute Retreats from day one, and the event never fails to produce exiting new business leads. Deals get discussed and conceptualized or pushed forward, and the relationships one can build with this small group of C-level decision makers is simply unsurpassed. I have enjoyed every minute so far, and will continue to do so, with healthcare being such an important topic going forward.
