Dr. Michael Laffin has over 25 years of diverse experience in the life sciences industry including learning and leadership development, talent management, salesforce training, and field sales leadership. Mike’s most recent role was Head of Learning & Development at Moderna Therapeutics where he oversaw all professional and leadership development. During Mike’s tenure of just under four years the company grew its workforce by over 300%, successfully launched twelve clinical trials, and executed the largest IPO in the history of the biotech industry.
Over the last 16 years, Mike has built Learning & Development functions for three organizations from the ground up, including the design and launch of two corporate universities and three new hire orientation programs. In all three organizations, he established leadership cohorts and designed and facilitated multiple leadership development workshops and off-site meetings. Mike also effectively partnered with academic institutions and oversaw the design and delivery of global leadership development programs. In addition, he built and led the sales force training and management development functions for two of these organizations including drug launches, selling skills, and management capabilities.
This work was accomplished in three different stages of company life cycles: a large global biopharma with multiple commercialized products; a mid-sized biotech launching its first commercial product; and a small, rapid growth, platform research company with several early-stage clinical trials and drug development programs.
Mike holds a Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry, a Master’s degree in Business Administration, and a Doctorate of Education in Organizational Leadership. Mike has taught courses at Northeastern University, Lesley University, and the FBI Training Academy; and he co-founded and was an original board member of the Jaime Fund, a 501(c)3 umbrella entity that funds a special needs awareness and educational program for schools in multiple states across the country.
