Expert to Entrepreneur

In this special episode of Molecule to Market, you’ll go inside the outsourcing space of the global drug development sector with Jeffrey P. Kiplinger, Partner at Selling Science. Your host, Raman Sehgal, sits down with Jeff to discuss his new book, 'Expert to Entrepreneur'.  Jeff Kiplinger is a PhD chemist who, after leaving a scientific leadership role at Pfizer in 1998, transitioned to business leadership and an entrepreneurial track. In 2007 he founded Averica Discovery, an analytical drug development CDMO in the Boston area. With solid growth in a tough economy, Averica was an attractive target and was acquired by a Canadian lab services company. Jeff left in 2018 and wrote about the experience of changing focus from science to business in his new book, “Expert to Entrepreneur: How to Turn Your Hard-Won Expertise into a Thriving Business”, which made the Amazon Bestseller list in its first week. Jeff is passionate about helping scientist entrepreneurs build their businesses. He’s a keynote speaker and coach, leads mastermind groups for scientific founders, and is a co-creator and partner in Selling Science, a consulting firm that helps companies grow their revenue by developing successful sales programs. He still lives in the New England area with his wife Katy, and spends most of his free time outdoors hiking and cycling.
