“Simon Sinek says, ‘If you hire people just because they can do a job, they’ll work for your money. But if you hire people who believe what you believe, they’ll work for you with blood and sweat and tears.’ Ken was hired to lead the Sales and Marketing Teams at BioZyme because he believes that care that comes full circle is a great way to grow a sustainable, giving and impactful business,” said Lisa Norton, BioZyme President and CEO.
