Own The Spotlight is a podcast where authors take center stage to present their work — in their own words and without an interviewer. Each episode features a solo monologue in which the author introduces themselves, shares what inspired their latest book or article, and reflects on the journey behind the writing. You'll hear candid insights about their intended audience, the creative process, surprises along the way, and what they hope readers will take away from their work. Whether you're a curious reader, fellow writer, or publishing enthusiast, Own The Spotlight offers a rare, candid look at authorship — and plants the seeds for your next literary exploration.

69. Bioengineering at Scale, A Conversation with Anna Marie Wagner of Ginkgo Bioworks

Feb 26, 2021

We're delighted to begin Season 4 of The Disruptive Voice with Anna Marie Wagner, Senior Vice President of Corporate Development at Ginkgo Bioworks. Hosted by Derek van Bever, Anna Marie discusses the transformative potential of bioengineering and the work her company is doing to help facilitate it. A graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Business School, where she was a Baker Scholar, Anna Marie worked as an investor with Bain Capital Private Equity for several years before diving into the world of biotechnology. In this rich discussion, she teaches Derek (and all of us!) about synthetic biology, and the barriers to more nimble forms of biotech development, as well as the platform solution that Ginkgo has devised to facilitate biological innovation.
