Hey everyone, welcome back to Founder Story. Today we have Dr. Mary Hames. And Dr. Mary Hames, we were just chatting a little bit about what you're working on and even my experiences with people in my family. So I'm very curious. And technology advancing in the pharma space, I think is... probably one of the most exciting topics. I can't wait to learn more about that.
But you are the founder and CEO of Biologic Pharma Solutions, a medical affairs consultancy helping pharma and biotech companies launch products faster. So before we go into the most exciting thing is how is AI and technology helping? Before we talk about that, I'd like to understand why did you start this company and why this industry?
Yeah, thank you so much for having me, Daniel. I'm excited to be here. So why I got started with this, you know, I've been in pharma for a number of years and launched a lot of really neat products and had a great time with that. I love that building phase. But, you know, as we were talking, there's a lot of volatility in pharma.
It's hard for the pharma companies because they don't always know if the product's going to get approved. They don't know what's going to happen with it. And so there's a lot of turnover. There's a lot of companies that have to let whole teams go. And then, you know, it's hard on the company and hard on the people.
So what we're doing is we're offering a flexible, scalable team that can come in during these periods of volatility and and support a company through that flux. So it's very, very adaptable, very scalable, very low risk. And then for the folks in the consultancy here at Biologic, we get to enjoy several projects in parallel, which gives us more diverse work to do.
