Episode #403 - Managing The Cultural Shift Between Academia & Business - with Mark Kotter ScaleUp Radio

    • Entrepreneurship

Hi there and welcome back to another edition of ScaleUp Radio, the podcast inspired by the Entrepreneurial ScaleUp System and designed to make navigating our ScaleUp journeys that little bit easier by learning from others' experiences.
I’m Kevin Brent and today I’m joined by Mark Kotter, neurosurgeon, stem cell biologist, and CEO/founder of Bit Bio. Mark shares how Bit Bio is coding cells to become specific types for new cures and research tools.
He discusses the major cultural shift from academia to business, focusing on teamwork, communication, and decision-making. As Bit Bio grew from a small team to over 200 employees, Mark highlights the importance of purposeful hiring and evolving organisational structures.
He also emphasises fostering an open, trust-based environment for rapid innovation.
