Throwing out the career script; approaching your career with a sense of adventure and fun with Matthew Gowen, Senior Vice President at Pangea
Matthew Gowen has had an awesome career over the last 20 years, approaching it with a sense of adventure and fun.
He first began his career as a technologist in 2001 in the Pharmaceutical industry, and then leveraged his understanding of science and technology to transition into senior commercial roles in the software industry. Working for incredible companies such as Thomson Reuters and Veeva, and more recently being part of the startup journey with Pangea.
Matthew’s sweet spot is working with tech companies to break into new markets and building high performing cultures. Exciting stuff!
In this podcast episode we talk about:
The importance of visibility; how to get noticed by the right people
Making bold career transition moves; cross functional and cross industry
How being turned down for his first management role made him a better leader
Chit chat; taking the time to connect with people above and beyond the day job
Having a “north star” to help you make better career and life decisions
Building confidence by saying yes to new challenges
Moving from Manager to “Leader”
The “fun” of startup life
Plus so much more!
Matthew has such a down to earth approach to work and life, and was a joy to chat with.
Enjoy!
