Episode 8 | Every Chapter Needs a Different You (Peter Seufer-Wasserthal)

Episode 8 with Peter Seufer Wasserthal Every Chapter Needs a Different You - The Cost of Not Transforming Every biotech professional has been through at least one identity shift they didn't plan for. The scientist who became a manager. The bench chemist who moved to BD. The founder who had to hire a CEO above themselves. These transitions are the highest-stakes moments in a career - and the industry has almost no language for them. Peter Seufer - Wasserthal has been through many. In this episode of Willing To Win, Christian Rados sits down with Peter Seufer - Wasserthal, Chairman of the Board at Imperagen and Planet Smart, biotech consultant, board member, and passionate sailor. Peter is a PhD organic chemist who spent thirty years on the business side of life sciences - from Chemie Linz in rural Austria to Altus Pharmaceuticals in Cambridge, Massachusetts, through Evotec, Morphochem, Codexis, Intrexon, Origenis, Sestina Bio, and Willow Biosciences, where he served as President and CEO. Peter has lived every version of the career transition that nobody in the industry prepares you for. This is the conversation the industry doesn't have at conferences. They told him he wasn't a good scientist because he moved to the business side. He trained four people who became his bosses before anyone promoted him. He built a career across nine time zones from a home office in a village before remote work had a name. He became interim CEO, ignored the warning signs, and fell overboard when the fundraise collapsed. And then - fifteen years later than he wanted - he finally became the startup mentor he always knew he should be. Not because he chose the transformation. Because the storm chose it for him. In this episode, Peter breaks down: -Why scientists who move to business aren't failed scientists - and how the industry finally caught up to what he understood thirty years ago -What it actually takes to lead without positional authority across time zones and cultures -The moment your words change meaning because you became the boss - and why nobody warns you -Why your company sees the person who walked in on day one, not who you've become -The one question every biotech founder needs to answer before their first management hire: do you want to be king, or do you want to be rich? -Why hiring people who aren't better than you guarantees you'll build a kingdom with no clothes on -The five-minute leadership diagnostic that reveals whether your calendar matches your strategy -What fifteen years of knowing you should change - and not daring to - actually costs -Why the sailing principle of reefing your sails is the most honest decision framework for career transitions This is not a highlight reel. It is the story of eight identity shifts across one biotech career - and what it costs when you don't transform fast enough. 🎧 Listen and Follow Access the full episode on all platforms: 👉 https://linktr.ee/willingtowinpodcast 🔔 Subscribe to Willing To Win Conversations with biotech founders, CMOs, and drug developers who have operated across every side of the table.
