Timeless values of loyalty and integrity have helped Phillips Kuhl build a thriving company at the heart of one of the economy’s most innovative sectors: biotechnology. Holding more than 250 conferences per year, Cambridge Healthtech Institute or CHI, helps participants discover new perspectives on the problems they are addressing. This impressive feat requires the concerted effort of 150 talented employees whose encouragement and guidance are Phillips Kuhl’s constant concern. I really enjoyed discovering how my friend of long standing built his remarkable company.
Here are some highlights:

- The Easiest Decision: Become an Entrepreneur
- “…one of the key lessons was figuring out who were the people that represent the buy side of that topic, who are the people that represent the sell side…”
- “…critically valuable to have several different perspectives that are brought together…”
- “You're going to hear perspectives that you otherwise might not be aware of…”
