Lou Kennedy stands apart from her peers within the medical manufacturing industry. Since 2007, Kennedy has operated as CEO of Nephron Pharmaceuticals. With Kennedy at the helm, the company has grown tremendously and found a new home in South Carolina, where she has roots and attended college. On top of that, Nephron manufactures its medical products within South Carolina, a rarity at a time when so many items are produced overseas. Outside of the C-suite, Kennedy generously gives back to and invests in her local community. And it’s for these reasons she’s the kind of trailblazing leader we are proud to spotlight. With Lou Kennedy at the center, this episode of Beyond the Mold is packed with inspiring management insights, female empowerment, and future-thinking leadership ideas. We sit down with Lou to discuss her approach to leadership and the unique achievements that have made her a pioneer both in and out of the medical industry. We’ll also get her thoughts on the value of giving back to the next generation of leaders and her insights into what comes next. Join us and venture Beyond the Mold with industry powerhouse Lou Kennedy.
