Bennett has spent more than two decades building commercial organisations and bringing innovative medicines to patients, holding leadership roles at Novo Nordisk, Regeneron, Akebia, and Orchard Therapeutics, where he helped launch one of the world's most expensive gene therapies. Today, he's leading commercial strategy at Beren Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biotech taking a different approach to developing treatments for rare diseases. In this conversation, we discuss Bennett's journey through biotech, why commercial thinking should begin long before launch, the story behind Beren's emergence from stealth, and what it takes to build a successful commercial organisation from the ground up. We also explore the future of rare disease innovation and why aligning science and commercial strategy from day one can make all the difference.","meta_description":"In this episode of The BioHub Podcast , Max sits down with Bennett Smith, Senior Vice President of Commercial at Beren Therapeutics.
