My guest for this week’s episode is Sandy Paige, co-managing director of the Seabright Ventures Fund, a search fund investing in the US middle market, with a focus on life sciences and cleantech.

Sandy is an expert CEO, most recently leading and scaling Explora BioLabs before its acquisition by Charles River Laboratories for $295 Million dollars. Prior to Seabright, Sandy led The Jackson Laboratory as a Site Director and a Director of International Distribution from 2008 to 2018.

Before The Jackson Laboratory, Sandy spent time as a general manager, consultant, and financial analyst, gaining extensive experience in a wide range of industries outside of the life sciences.

Join us as we sit down with Sandy to talk about his childhood watching his father as a CEO, and how he learned to leverage his hustle and found value as a team player. Sandy also discusses the benefits of multifaceted education and how a wide range of experiences can lead to more opportunities. Lastly, we cover his time going from politics to industry, his journey to getting an MBA, and his path into corporate entrepreneurship.
