Webinar Summary
If you are thinking about transitioning from a mission-driven role in a nonprofit, government, or academic organization into a private industry role in a consulting, pharmaceutical, or tech company, you are not alone. In this 1-hour webinar, our panelists Matthew Reynolds, Ph.D., FISPE, Azimuth Research Group, Nirosha Lederer, Ph.D., MSPH, AstraZeneca, Rama Darbha, NVIDIA, and Courtney Remus, MPH, IQVIA shared real-world strategies and lessons learned from mentoring job seekers or making the transition themselves. We discussed how shifts in federal funding have made this transition more urgent for many professionals, but the desire has always been there. What’s often missing is how to make it happen.

After watching this webinar, you’ll gain fresh insight into how to position your experience in a way that shows you’re ready to make an impact in an industry role. You’ll also learn why networking and building connections are essential for a successful transition, along with practical strategies to navigate the job market with clarity and intention.
Throughout the conversation, the panelists explore key themes such as adopting an industry mindset, communicating value instead of just knowledge, building a portfolio of experiences that showcase your qualifications, and demonstrating resilience in your job search.
