E84: Radiologist turned HealthTech VC Founder (Crista Galli Ventures) - Dr Fiona Pathiraja

In this week’s episode we are joined by Dr Fiona who shares with us her story from the very beginning. We discuss the many transitions she has taken from medical student to consultant radiologist to eventually becoming a VC founder and managing partner. Dr Fiona talks about the importance of leadership, network effects and the efforts clinicians should make to broaden their horizons. Tune in as we discover why she pursued an MBA and how we can only connect the dots in our careers when we look backwards. 

Finally we spend some time discussing the regret minimisation mindset and why we should believe in ourselves when others don’t.
