John Simboli

Listen in to hear insights from Amy about leadership in biopharma and how Immunon is working to develop medicines that harness the building blocks of life to work in harmony with the body's immune system.

I'm John Simboli.

You're listening to BioBoss.

Welcome to BioBoss, Stacey.

What led you to your role as CEO at Immunon?

At what point did you think to yourself, I'm ready to take that step, I'm ready to become the leader of the biopharma company?

As you assumed the leadership role in your previous company and then in your current one, what kinds of things matched how you thought it might be to be the CEO?

What things were different?

Go next with a question about your statistics background.

That sounds like an unusual contribution you can make.

There probably aren't that many people who come from a strong PhD background in statistics.

So how does having expertise in statistics, how does that play into your ability to lead?

What were the things when you first learned about the possibility that Immunon might be the place that you might be interested in, you might be interested in it?

Can you recall what it was that you said, yeah, this is really interesting to me?

This idea about a statistical background and how it would play out.

I'm curious, what did you see yourself becoming and did you become that?

When someone asks you, like maybe someone you honor and trust, but someone's not from our industry, they say, well, what's your job?

What do you do?

How do you answer?

When someone says, yeah, that's really, I'm amazed by what you do.
