From rural roots to global pharma leader

In this episode of Molecule to Market, you’ll go inside the outsourcing space of the global drug development sector with Mike Martin, Chief Executive Officer at CAI.

Your host, Raman Sehgal, discusses the pharmaceutical and biotechnology supply chain with Mike, covering:

• How a passion for engineering led to a lifetime in life sciences - including 32 years with Eli Lilly
• Why working in China, Puerto Rico, and Ireland and the exposure to new cultures changed this ‘mid-west farm boy’s view of the world
• A very short attempt at retirement... and what tempted Mike back into the working world
• Lessons learned from years of being the client, but also knowing when to dial down the client voice as a service provider

As the CEO of CAI, Mike Martin guides a team of 800+ across the US, Europe, and APAC for the global professional services firm focused on engineering and quality consulting.

With over 30 years in the pharmaceutical industry, including decades at Eli Lilly, Mike has experience in engineering, operational leadership, engineering leadership, and large-scale project management in diverse global settings, specifically major capital projects in the US, Puerto Rico, China, and Ireland.
