Fireside Chat With Jodie Morrison and José Juves @ T2B Virtual Forum


Hi!

We communicators seek to become -- and remain -- trusted advisors to the C-suite, whether at our own organizations or at our client companies.

But we don’t often hear from the executive receiving that counsel what was useful, what changed their thinking, what missed the mark, and what happened once the comms team left the room.

So, for the opening session of our 2nd Annual Virtual Biopharma Comm Forum, we’re flipping the usual format to hear from a CEO. On Tuesday, October 6th, Jodie Morrison, CEO of Q32 Bio, and José Juves, Chief Corporate & Patient Affairs Officer at Dyne Therapeutics, will join us for a fireside chat:

How the C-Suite Experiences Communications Counsel

José has spent 20+ years across communications, IR, general management, and commercial roles in our industry -- he definitely understands what it takes to become a trusted counselor to senior leadership.

During the fireside chat, he’ll interview Jodie about questions communicators don’t often get to ask a CEO directly:

  • What makes comms counsel genuinely useful?
  • What builds the kind of trust that keeps a CEO coming back for your perspective?
  • When can comms counsel change the direction of a business decision?
  • Where do communicators sometimes get it wrong?

Jodie brings plenty of experience to those questions. Her career has spanned startups, public companies, IPOs, M&A, and the difficult leadership decisions that come with each stage. Through The CEO Forum, she has also supported fellow executives navigating COVID, the SVB banking crisis, policy shifts, and capital-market pressures.

She’s also unusually candid about the less visible parts of being a CEO, including the loneliness of the role, competing obligations to employees and investors, and the consequences that come with difficult decisions.

Hi! Depending on how you define the sector, there are thousands of biopharma companies -- and many more organizations across the broader life sciences ecosystem. That’s a lot of employers competing for increasingly specialized talent. And when so many can point to great science, meaningful work, and the opportunity to make a difference, standing out certainly isn’t easy. AI is adding another layer. Candidates can now use AI tools to research potential employers, which means their first...

Before today’s announcement, we want to acknowledge September 11th and remember those who lost their lives, their families, and all those affected. Hi! Some days it feels like we exist in a world of constant crisis. Political volatility, regulatory shifts, reputational issues, and the speed of social media rapidly turn emerging issues into acute ones for our industry. And somehow, the crises in front of us are often not the ones we planned for. This raises a new set of questions for...

Hi! There’s a whole lot about this profession that we learn by watching, asking questions, making a few mistakes, and gradually figuring out how things really work. That’s what tomorrow’s inaugural Students & Recent Grads Roundtable event is about. Christine Akinc (formerly Alnylam), Samara Dowe (Catalytic), and Rushmie Nofsinger (formerly Cellarity) bring perspectives from different career stages and from both agency and in-house roles. Together with moderators and roundtable members Jasmine...
