Keynote: People First - Building & Nurturing Talent for CROs

I'm honored to announce that I'll be delivering a keynote presentation at the COG: CRO Summit in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, on December 2nd & 3rd, 2025 at the Embassy Suites by Hilton.

My Session: 

Strategic Talent Development for Clinical Research Organizations

As part of the People Development segment, I'll be sharing insights from my 30+ years in clinical research and MedTech operations, focusing on how CROs can build and nurture exceptional teams in today's competitive landscape.

What I'll be covering:

• Short, medium, and long-term talent development strategies that align with operational goals
• How evolving sponsor expectations are reshaping workforce requirements
• Key workforce trends impacting our industry and how to stay ahead
• Creating career advancement pathways that drive both operational excellence and employee satisfaction
• Building a resilient, high-performing workforce that becomes a strategic competitive advantage

Throughout my career, I've learned that operational excellence starts with people. In an increasingly competitive talent market, CROs that invest strategically in their teams don't just survive, they thrive.
