Live from Healthcare Sessions 2026 in Nashville (also on YouTube), Anne Hancock Toomey interviews Jenn Adams, CEO of August Bioservices, about her 30+ year career in sterile injectable manufacturing and the path that led her from Baxter into entrepreneurship.
Adams explains how a long-standing investor partnership helped launch August Bioservices in 2020 with a mission to bridge the gap between demand for critical sterile injectable medicines and manufacturing capacity. She describes rebuilding and expanding the Nashville site, recruiting top-tier technical talent during the pandemic, and qualifying high-speed equipment for prefilled syringes and vials.
All of this operation work, she is quick to point out, is driven by people far more than assets – and she closes with the reminder to “not be afraid” and to pursue meaningful work. Also, the first Backstory F1 pit crew reference.
