Steve Sun, CEO, GENEWIZ

Evolution is a Discipline: In 1999, armed with a PhD and post-doc training in life sciences, an idea, and no previous work experience outside of academia, Dr. Steve Sun partnered with his fellow biochemist, Dr. Amy Liao, to form GENEWIZ in a 300 square foot lab. Now GENEWIZ is the leading player in the global DNA sequencing industry.

"When I think about the early coaching days from Growth River, it was a lot of focus on my own growth. This was my first job. I was a naïve entrepreneur with zero experience in management. That coaching period was a foundation. Later on, coaching evolved to focus on execution, meaning identifying constraints and working on them."

~ Steve Sun, CEO
