The first lesson I learned…
as a company founder and CEO is that you need to wear several hats and be very flexible. Your job description changes every day — from talking to investors and running the everyday operations to clearing up the lab when there’s been a flood. You have to be prepared to put your mind to anything and everything, with little support and infrastructure. The buck stops with you.
