We sat down Christopher Gervais who is the SVP of Product Development @ Kyruus in Boston. Walking through his journey from the farm towns of Western, MA \[really\] right through to where he is today - Innovating, and driving change in the healthcare industry. A fortuitous elevator pitch, a North Star analogy, team building principles and approaches to collaboration that will be music to your ears, and a discussion surrounding how to facilitate change to promote growth via a true people-based approach \[AND why he hates being sold milk\]. It’s all here. Give it a listen. Get energized. Get better. Enjoy!
