Coulter Partners attends Bio€quity Europe in Bruges, Belgium
Last week, the Coulter Partners team - Bianca Coulter, Francesca Lazzarin, Kay Wardle, and Laura Esam - attended Bio€quity Europe in Bruges, Belgium.
What an incredible event! It was truly inspiring to connect with such brilliant minds in life science, investment, and innovation.

We were honoured to have our Executive Chair, Bianca, actively participate in the insightful panel "First-Time CEOs: Rising To The Challenge." As highlighted in the BioXconomy article, "The Secret to CEO Success: Why Hiring Smarter Matters" the discussion offered valuable perspectives on the critical importance of strategic hiring and building the right team for a first-time CEO's success. Sophie McGrath did an outstanding job as the panel chair, expertly steering this and other valuable conversations.
Special thanks to the speakers and panelists for their contributions:
- Trine Bartholdy, Chief Business Officer, BioInnovation Institute Fonden
- Luc Dochez, Pharm.D., Managing Partner, Droia Ventures
- Christina Franssen, Ph.D., Investment Manager, Wallonie Entreprendre
- Aaron Schwimmer, Partner, MTS Health Partners
- Paul Peter Tak, M.D., Ph.D., President and CEO, Candel Therapeutics
Their insights and expertise, particularly around the challenges and opportunities facing new biotech leaders, truly lit up the discussions and opened doors to exciting opportunities for collaboration.
Here's to driving the future of life sciences together!
