Evan Hayes is an extraordinary man who has travelled the world providing research, support and structures to bring remedies to the Australian market. At NatEx, Evan spoke of the top 10 stand-outs for bringing products and services to market. Always being interested in innovation and changing things, Evan reminisces on his journey from biochemistry and research development to developing probiotics and his relationship with Bioceuticals. I enjoyed this in-depth chat about collaboration, the idea of ‘see a need, fill a need’, and the power of practitioners as researchers.
