Why everything starts with great culture

In this special repurposed episode of Molecule to Market, we go back inside the global drug development space with previous guests Magnus Gustafsson, Board Member at Genovis, Jeff Dill, CEO at Vynamic. , and Peter Soelkner, Managing Director at Vetter to hear their thoughts on building a great organisational culture. 

Your host, Raman Sehgal, revisits discussions from past episodes, with amazing global guests who share their insights about building culture to give our listeners loads of takeaway points, from episodes including:

• Finland’s Viral Vector Manufacturer of Happinesses
  
  Hear from Magnus Gustafsson – who Raman describes as a delightful gentleman that remains passionate about his purpose. His curiosity has enabled him to take real pleasure from working across complex projects. Magnus cites investment into company culture as crucial to developing a great company and building a solid NPS score, commenting: ‘you need some of your own skin in the game’.

• Creating a healthy culture
  
  It’s no secret Jeff Dill is a favourite guest of Raman’s. During the pandemic they enjoyed a great conversation about culture and team work. Jeff firmly believes in prioritizing people and talks in detail about Vynamic’s ‘vitals’ – a document that incapsulates the company’s purpose and a series of values. The vitals provide consistency and a foundation to scale and build. He talks about doubling down on what works well to enable people to bring their whole selves to work everyday. What a great approach!

• From Pharmacy to $1B family-owned CDMO
  
  Finally, we hear from Peter Soelkner who contributed to one of our most successful podcast shows. We listen back to hear about Vetter’s phenomenal success in the US and Germany, and Peter’s fascinating thoughts on culture. From Vetter’s humble beginnings to earning a fantastic reputation in the space Peter talks candidly about the attributes and the people component that make the company so successful. Peter believes you should never look at how far you fell but instead at how high you will jump back up! 

Raman enjoyed the original conversations and took pleasure in listening back to bring you this special culture themed episode. It’s clear our guests all agree that culture is key to developing and scaling a great organization.
