The Innovation Imperative: An Insider's Perspective on Radical Disruption Within the Biotech Industry

Event details
In a period of massive change, franchises are killed and born, previously unimagined models emerge, and incumbents that are too focused on “protecting share” find themselves closing their doors. The healthcare industry is a dominant component of the US economy and it is going through such a period of dramatic change as we speak. How does this define opportunities for entrepreneurs, raise risks for today’s leaders and impact the mandate of investors?

Please join us for an evening of networking and Ashley's original keynote presentation - the Innovation Imperative - highlighting case studies on disruption within the healthcare industry that offer lessons applicable to all industries.

This event is open to both nonmembers and members of the HBA. Sign up early as there are only 100 spaces available.

Our presenter, Ashley Dombkowski, PhD, managing director, Bay City Capital, has 15+ years of experience as an investor, operating executive, and entrepreneur. Prior to joining Bay City Capital, she was chief business officer and vice president of operations at 23andMe. Previously she was a managing director at MPM Capital, a venture capital firm, where she focused on developing innovative biotechnology, medical device, and healthcare IT companies, including companies such as 23andMe, Adolor, Alnara, BioVitrum, Epizyme, iPierian, Neosil, Nevro, Rigel, and Tercica.
