About the Author
Hello, I’m Matteo 👋
I made the transition from academia to biotech, management consulting, and MedTech and now I help other PhDs do the same by providing actionable steps and execution plans.
Higher education is facing significant challenges, but I’m here to help you discover the career trajectory that’s best for you and effectively communicate your value. With experience as a biotech leader and strategy consultant, I’ve taken on various challenges, including delivering consulting proposals and leading biotech drug discovery efforts.
My writing has been featured in publications such as Nature, Science, Inside Higher Ed, and I’ve spoken on achieving post-PhD career success at prestigious institutions. Additionally, I’m the author of The Salmon Leap for PhDs: Swimming Upstream – A Transition from Academia to Industry (2020) and Beyond Academia: Stories and Strategies for PhDs Making the Leap to Industry (2023).
