Ep. 7 | Leading with Mission Under Pressure: Building Trust, Culture, and Scale with Julie Blasingim

Описание: What happens when growth, private equity pressure, and mission collide? In this episode of Activating Greatness, host Alec McChesney sits down with Julie Blasingim, CEO of Univo IRB, to explore what it truly means to lead with purpose while building and scaling a company in the life sciences industry. Julie shares how she built Univo from the ground up with a patient-first mission, why people must come before strategy, and how leaders can protect culture, trust, and clarity as complexity increases. The conversation dives into intentional hiring, storytelling as a leadership tool, saying no to growth opportunities that don’t align, and why success isn’t defined by size but by being the best at what you do. This episode is a powerful look at purpose-driven leadership, culture building, and leading under pressure without losing the soul of the organization.
