Ep. 35: Growing into a leader while “doing right by people” with Arsenal Medical CEO Upma Sharma
You don’t need to be building a venture-backed medical device company to be inspired by my brilliant and hard-working new guest (and old friend) Upma Sharma. Upma navigated her way through her male-dominated, math and engineering training to lead a Boston-based company bringing a life-saving trauma product to market. Hear how she dealt with bias and doubt along the way to becoming President and CEO of an all-star, Harvard & MIT start-up. So much terrific advice - will make you reflect on your work and habits no matter what you do!
