Episode Description from the Publisher

In this episode of The Biotech Startups Podcast, Jon Chee sits down with Stephanie Sirota, partner and head of strategic partnerships at RTW Investments, to explore how a coddled yet cosmopolitan upbringing, years of elite tennis competition, and a humanities-rich education at Columbia shaped her mental toughness, leadership style, and approach to partnering with life sciences innovators. From sports psychology and coaching to the value of breadth before specialization, Stephanie reflects on the experiences that built her resilience and curiosity long before she helped transform RTW into a leading life sciences investment firm.
