In this episode of Build Your Own Business (BYOB), I have a fantastic conversation with Dr. Maja Green, CEO and Director of Medical Affairs at Solaris Research Institute. Maja is a pioneer in the fields of pain and spine research, and today, she shares her journey from the medical world to becoming a successful entrepreneur.
We dive into Maja's background, exploring her early experiences in the healthcare industry and how those experiences shaped her approach to business. From working directly with patients to leading clinical trials, Maja’s story is one of passion, resilience, and innovation. She talks about how the foundation she built through her medical career eventually led to the creation of Solaris Research Institute, where she now focuses on advancing medical research and developing cutting-edge solutions for clinical trials.
One of the key themes we discuss is how Maja's expertise in healthcare has directly influenced her approach to business leadership. She provides a unique perspective on how understanding the patient experience and collaborating with healthcare professionals can create business models that are both empathetic and efficient. Maja also highlights how the power of data and technology is transforming the way research is conducted, especially with their platform, Lupiter Health Connect, which accelerates clinical trials by rapidly and efficiently recruiting diverse patient populations.
Throughout our chat, Maja shares her thoughts on the importance of adaptability in business, especially in the fast-paced and ever-evolving world of healthcare. She encourages entrepreneurs to remain open to new technologies and methodologies, and not to shy away from innovation. Maja also opens up about some of the challenges she faced while transitioning from clinical practice to the entrepreneurial world, offering invaluable advice to anyone looking to take a similar path.
Towards the end of our conversation, Maja leaves us with a powerful piece of advice for aspiring entrepreneurs: "Get out there and network. Surround yourself with people who inspire you and share your vision. Building relationships is key – you never know where your next opportunity will come from."
Join me as we unpack Maja's inspiring journey, the hurdles she’s overcome, and her vision for the future of healthcare. This episode is filled with insights that will resonate with both seasoned entrepreneurs and those just starting out.
