Science, Startups, and Spinning Plates: Fozia Saleem (S4:E7)

  • Résumé

  • In this episode of ‘Fear Less, Do More’, host Gill Hunter talks with scientist Dr Fozia Saleem about how her real-life research led to pursuing entrepreneurship and business.Fozia has experienced unique challenges in her corporate journey and has succeeded by leading her industry in a different way, and creating opportunities both for herself and the next generation of leaders.

    Highlights Include:

    • How a sixth form biology teacher inspired Fozia’s career by bringing science to life and making it fun.

    • How a university professor was the catalyst for a career in industry, after seeing something in Fozia she didn’t see in herself.

    • How ambition to break through the glass ceiling in pharmaceuticals led Fozia to pursue a PhD

    • The challenges of graduating during a recession when big Pharma companies were making mass redundancies.

    • How being the only woman and person of colour in many corporate meeting rooms shaped Fozia’s personal values to become sure of herself and speak up loudly for others.

    • Confirming to a corporate stereotype early in her career by wearing greys and blacks and minimising herself to fit in

    • How using the support networks on offer and asking for help after graduating is a powerful tool, and isn’t a sign of weakness.

    • The journey from big Pharma to becoming a startup entrepreneur in the North East of England.

    • Her mission as Chief Executive of Magnitude to help companies fail fast, to increase the speed to market for new drugs.

    • How the job description in a startup goes out of the window and should read ‘carry on spinning plates’, a far cry from the rigid roles of working in a corporate setting.

    • Tackling the demands of juggling a busy startup and her own young family.
