Description

In this episode I speak with Dr. Steven Brennan, co-founder and CEO of Foresight.

Foresight is a software platform that helps organizations to make sense of complex and fast moving chemical regulations, so they can always be ready for what's coming next.

Steven and I have a nice conversation that shows how he turned his years of regulatory experience into a software solution that solves a key challenge - how to get access to key insights faster to understand and manage regulatory change. 

Listen to this conversation if you want to get a look into the world of startups and software as a solution (SaaS) from a chemical regulatory point of view. We also talk about aspects of building and growing a business, and some reflections on life as founders and keeping everything in balance. 

Our conversation covers:

• Steven's background and career journey
• The story behind Foresight - identifying an industry need, and developing a solution
