In this episode of Connected With Latham, Haim Zaltzman, Global Vice Chair of Latham's Emerging Companies & Growth Practice, sits down with BridgeBio's Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer Neil Kumar and Chief Financial Officer Brian Stephenson. Since 2015, BridgeBio, a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical, has maintained a mission to discover, create, test, and deliver transformative medicines to treat patients who suffer from genetic diseases. Latham has been involved with BridgeBio since its inception, representing BridgeBio on multiple fronts, including recently the company's US$1.25 billion cross-border capital financing, one of the largest private capital financings in life sciences in the last five years and one of the largest combined senior debt and royalty transactions in the last decade. In a wide-ranging conversation, Haim, Neil, and Brian discuss BridgeBio's novel rise from startup to unicorn, how the company's portfolio has increasingly diversified and adjusted, and why BridgeBio represents the right approach to establishing enterprise and patient value in the genetics — and broader biotech — space. They also reflect on balancing patient impact with value creation, their anticipation of faster approval timelines in a new presidential administration, and the lessons learned from the evolution of BridgeBio's legal structure, as well as which fast food is near and dear to their stomachs, and who was the biggest nerd in grad school.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
