Success, failure, and the road to 3.9 billion: Edwin Moses on building biotech giants The biotech world is filled with promising ideas, but what separates those who succeed from those who don’t? According to Edwin Moses—former CEO of Ablynx and current chairman at Achilles Therapeutics plc, Avantium, LabGenius Therapeutics, and NanoSyrinx—it’s the entrepreneurial spirit: a blend of proactive planning, relentless execution, and the mental fortitude to persevere through setbacks. In an exclusive interview with BiotechNews & Life Sciences Magazine, done by Yilmaz Biter, Moses shares his journey—from navigating setbacks to leading Ablynx’s $3.9 billion acquisition. He dives into the critical role of company culture, the lessons every first-time CEO should know, and why Belgium’s Flanders Institute for Biotechnology (VIB) has been a game-changer for the industry. “A real entrepreneur has a deep sense of optimism and the ability to turn that optimism into reality. It’s one thing to be hopeful, but you have to take action.” – Edwin Moses This is a must-read for anyone in biotech looking to understand the mindset and strategies behind billion-dollar breakthroughs.
