In today's episode, I'm joined by Andrea Goddard, former Chief Quality Officer at Genentech.

Andrea shares her career journey and insights into quality leadership. She started in biotech manufacturing and transitioned into quality after a conversation with her boss! Andrea emphasizes the importance of building strong relationships between quality and other departments within an organization. She discusses the challenges and rewards of working in a global role, including managing different time zones and cultures.

We cover:

• Building strong relationships between quality and other departments.
• Managing different time zones and cultures.
• The importance of respect, authenticity, and work ethic.
• Using data to make informed choices.
• Putting yourself outside of your comfort zone.

A huge thank you to Andrea for joining us on the show and for giving us her time. She's had an incredible 30-year career with Genentech/Roche, starting in 1995, and positively impacting so many lives along the way.

Hope you enjoy the show!
