WILS Spring Breakfast
We were delighted to partner with Penningtons Manches Cooper again, to host the latest in our series of Women in Life Sciences (WILS) breakfasts, offering CEOs of early stage and growth businesses the opportunity to meet for breakfast and an informal chat about their business growth journey.
Hosted by Bailey Fisher's Zoe Robson, with Rachel Bradley of Penningtons, the latest WILS breakfast welcomed CEOs to the Babraham Research Campus on 6th February.
Discussion focused initially on compensation structures, and how to remain competitive whilst preserving cash flow. Conversation turned to the relative value placed by employees on a higher salary vs extra benefits and the challenges for earlier stage companies who may not be in a position to offer benefits, until reaching a certain stage. Equity and share options were also discussed, as were considerations around company culture in the hiring process. The breakfast was concluded with a discussion about alignment across the Leadership Team and what US and European investors look for.
The next WILS breakfast will take place in the Spring. If you'd be interested in finding out more about future WILS events, please contact Zoe Robson at Bailey Fisher.
