Take a trip to 2004 for a moment. Yahoo was the #1 website on the planet. Mark Zuckerberg came up with Facebook. 14-year-old Taylor Swift signed on with Sony to pursue her career in country music.

 

And from Stephen and Sarah Perry's perspectives, the Life Science industry was in desperate need of improvement. There was a lot of bureaucracy and red tape, and modern medicine that needed to be in patients' hands were slowed down by extra expense and scheduling delays.

 

So, they did something about it, creating Kymanox, which means Ideal Knowledge Transfer.

 

Today, 20 years and 300+ employees later, Stephen and Sarah share their first memories of starting Kymanox, the challenges faced, and the pivotal moments that shaped its growth and success. We also hear from employees who have been involved in the company's growth and success. They reflect on their experiences, the culture, and the impact Kymanox has had on their professional development and personal growth.
