Episode 10 - Melanie Matheu
b'This week I spoke with Dr. Melanie Matheu, the Founder and CEO of Prellis Biologics.\\xa0\\n\\nDr. Matheu has a background in Immunology, Chemistry, Physiology, & Biophysics\\u2026and what have you done lately? I first met Melanie when we were virtually introduced by a mutual acquaintance. The intro email said something like:\\n\\n\\u201cTeddy - please meet Mel who is one of the fastest rising CEOs in SF (and) who might keep us all alive 20 years longer!\\xa0 She is looking for a coach. I thought of you.\\u201d\\xa0\\n\\nIndeed. Well that captured my imagination in a heart beat. So Melanie and I had a chat and I discovered Melanie\\u2019s vision is to eliminate the need for organ donor lists\\u2026more on that shortly. When I asked her how can I help she said she\\u2019d been in academia all of her adult life. Now I\\u2019ve started this company \\u2013 how do I be a CEO. I\\u2019m in is all I said. Rather than me try to explain it any further we\\u2019ll let Dr. Matheu have the floor. They say there are no stupid questions\\u2026that\\u2019s what I was sure hoping as we sat down to talk.
