In this episode, I sat down with Jens Gertow, CCO at Mabtech, to discuss his journey from PhD to a successful career in industry. Jens shares how he landed his first role by highlighting not only the skills gained during his PhD, but also those developed through everyday life experiences.
We explore how to identify transferable skills beyond the lab. Jens story is a nice example why telling a compelling story about your unique skill set can make all the difference in landing a job.

Hear in this episode why meeting Angela was better than winning the lottery and how we met?
In this very first episode of PostPhDirections I talk to Angela Priest, my co- founder and business partner of Alma.Me. We address one of the most asked questions 'How did you two meet considering Angela lives in the US and Elena in Sweden?'.
We talk about our individual stories and how these brought us together and led to co-founding Alma.Me. We talk about common challenges PhDs and Postdocs encounter during their transition to a career post-graduation, and how Alma.me is working to solve these challenges.
Enjoy listening and if you like it leave us a review :)Elena, CEO and Chief inspiration officer @Alma.Me
