Qualio
In this episode of From Lab to Launch, we’re joined by Noreen Hong, VP and General Manager of Thermo Fisher Scientific’s Growth Protection and Separation business. Noreen shares insights from her extensive career, including what has kept her at Thermo Fisher for so many years and how a strong mission-driven culture and commitment to people development can shape lasting leadership. She discusses the importance of creating more inclusive hiring practices in STEM, encouraging women and underrepresented groups to pursue opportunities even when they don’t meet every requirement. Noreen also reflects on the value of trusting your instincts and taking smart risks to accelerate career growth. The conversation explores how labs can operate more sustainably through equipment upgrades and better data traceability, and looks ahead to the impact of AI and connected technologies in transforming modern laboratories.

Strategic Succession Planning in the AI Era, with Joe Luminiello CEO of RCG Intel
Mar 17, 2026
Qualio
In this episode of From Lab to Launch, we’re excited to welcome Joe Luminiello, CEO of RCG Intel, a firm dedicated to uncovering the insights that drive smarter strategy in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries.
Joe brings a sharp perspective on AI adoption, talent development, and long-term organizational strategy. As companies rush to automate entry-level roles, he highlights an often-overlooked risk: removing the very talent pipeline that future leadership depends on. Joe explores why successful organizations must balance AI integration with cultivating the next generation of leaders, treating AI as a powerful tool—not a replacement for human growth and succession planning.
Joe joined Meg for a thoughtful conversation about strategic succession planning in the AI era, how organizations can avoid short-sighted automation decisions, and how RCG Intel approaches research like investigative journalism—peeling back layers of information to deliver the context and insights leaders need to see the bigger picture in an increasingly complex healthcare landscape.

The inedible world of healthcare with Mariano García-Valiño, CEO of Axenya
Jan 26, 2026Episode 125
Qualio
In this episode of From Lab to Launch, we’re excited to welcome Mariano García-Valiño, a four-time entrepreneur and CEO of Axenya, one of Newsweek’s World’s Best Digital Health Companies. He’s built and exited firms worth billions, blending tech, data science and human-centered care to transform healthcare across the globe.
Mariano brings deep insights into scaling companies, AI in healthtech, and the future of innovation in Latin America. His Amazon #1 bestseller, Inedible, explores the curious resistance of the healthcare sector to the software-led transformations that we’ve seen in other industries. He’s also an experimental art photographer.
Mariano joined Meg for a fascinating chat about the lessons he's learned leading his company, the role of tech in healthcare, and what the future of a stubbornly 'inedible' sector looks like.

Revolutionizing clinical trial outsourcing with Dr. Les Enterline, Senior VP and Global Head of Functional Service Partnerships at PPD
Jan 12, 2026Episode 124
Qualio
In this episode of From Lab To Launch, Meg is joined by Dr. Les Enterline, Senior VP and Global Head of Functional Service Partnerships at PPD, part of Thermo Fisher Scientific.
With decades of experience across clinical research, Les is helping redefine how biopharma companies structure and scale their development teams through what’s known as the FSP model: a flexible outsourcing approach that’s gaining traction as sponsors face increasing pressure to deliver trials faster, more efficiently, and with more adaptive designs.
As clinical complexity grows and internal teams get stretched thin, FSPs are helping organizations scale specialized expertise while maintaining oversight, quality, and operational control. Under Les’ leadership, PPD has become one of the industry leaders in offering hybrid and fit-for-purpose models that blend the best of traditional CRO services with strategic resourcing.
In today’s conversation, we’ll explore how functional partnerships are evolving, how sponsors are rethinking outsourcing to meet modern challenges, and where the future of trial delivery is headed.
