February Comm Convo: Defining Strategic
Thursday, Feb. 27th @ 1 p.m. ET
Hi!
You won’t want to miss our February Comm Convo on ‘Defining Strategic’ – because the speakers we have lined up are really amazing.
This is your chance to engage directly with:
Sue Hager, an operating partner and the chief marketing officer on the a16z Bio + Health investing team. She oversees the fund's marketing, branding, and health policy, and her current experience and viewpoint of supporting and facilitating strategic comms make her the perfect panelist for this event.
Abbas Kazimi, the chief business officer at Nimbus Therapeutics, where he also oversees corporate affairs. In his decade+ at Nimbus, he’s seen first-hand the vital role that our function plays supporting various stages of company growth and the drug development cycle.
Fiona Olivier, who was most recently head of corporate affairs at Sanofi and transitioned to a biotech firm, OSE Immunotherapeutics, only a few months ago. Fiona has been a part of both worlds – global enterprise and small organization – and is right in the thick of looking at how being strategic shows up differently across big pharma and biotech for our profession.

What you can expect from this session
Being strategic is one of the most overused mandates in biopharma communications – but what does it actually mean?
That’s what Sue, Fiona, and Abbas are going to tackle.
Together, we’ll dig into the core of what it means to be strategic in our profession, covering how to align communications with corporate goals, become a forcing function for decision-making, and educate our organizations about the true scope and influence of the comms function.
As an attendee, you’ll:
Find out what “being strategic” means in biopharma communications and how it influences corporate decision-making.
Learn practical ways to align communications plans with business objectives and guide organizational direction.
Gain insights into educating stakeholders about the comms function to set clear expectations and drive success.
Explore how to give and receive feedback on strategic thinking to demonstrate growth and impact.
I’m so looking forward to moderating this panel – in vetting these speakers, I’ve gotten a peek into how they think about strategy in our profession and some of the examples they have to share!
