Samantha Ludolf is Deputy Director, Strategy and Operations at The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute (WEHI) of Medical Research in Melbourne.
In this episode of Success Stories, Catherine visits Samantha Ludolf at WEHI in Melbourne research and medical precinct. Samantha is originally from the UK but always had a fascination with Australia. It was a professional opportunity that brought her here and she's gone from success to success.
She's a skilled negotiator and led the WEHI team that successfully sold partial rights to leukemia drug Venetoclax in a $348 million deal that was an Australia-first. She's an advocate for equal representation in the work place and creating opportunities for children to have access to STEM from an early age, because Sam believes, education is your ticket to anywhere - it saved her.
