In this episode, we speak with Pierbruno Ricci: a molecular biologist turned strategy consultant, author, and biotech leader.
During his PhD, Pierbruno realised the lab bench wasn’t where he wanted to stay. Curious about how the world worked beyond the microscope, he set his sights on life science consulting , and after a two-year transition, landed a role that opened doors to biotech, pharma, hospitals, governments, and beyond.
Now a published author of From Science to Consulting, Pierbruno shares his account of navigating the shift from academia, what consulting in life sciences actually looks like, and why a scientific mindset can be a strategic advantage far beyond research.
If you’ve ever wondered how to pivot from PhD to strategy or are curious about the life of a consultant — this episode is for you.
