WHAT WE COVER

How Robin built a highly respected niche medical communications agency by starting lean with contractors, then recruiting senior talent with strong reputations that naturally generated referral driven growth
The power of scientific rigor and interactive education as a clear differentiator in a crowded pharma services market
Why investing in leadership, process, and EOS before a sale made her operationally redundant and significantly strengthened the business
The key value drivers behind the transaction, including geographic presence in Canada and the UK, blue chip global clients, and a deeply experienced science team
Why culture fit and strategic alignment mattered more than headline price when choosing the right buyer
How she mentally prepared to leave after nearly 20 years, and why her next chapter now includes building a husband and wife events business rooted in community north of Toronto
