Kimberly LaPointe studied molecular biology, knew she talked too much for the lab, and spent the next decades building a career that nobody had a job title for yet. She became the person who could walk into a room full of brilliant scientists and translate what they were doing into something an investor board could actually understand. It turned out that was rarer than she thought, and more valuable than she was being paid for.
In this episode, the strategic marketing leader in the life sciences industry gets honest about what it cost her to prioritize flexibility over compensation for years. She also talks about what grit looked like working overnight shifts from Japan while her kids slept, the guilt that comes with working on something important while still trying to show up at home, and what it finally feels like to be on a team where everyone is rowing in the same direction.
