In this week’s episode of Success Is Never Accidental, I am joined by Craig T. Ingram, a trusted advisor to VC-backed start-ups and SMEs with extensive experience across med tech, health tech, digital health, biopharma and AI.
Craig has led three successful business exits and is known for helping organisations cut through ineffective strategy, strengthen customer adoption, and achieve sustainable growth. In our conversation, we explored what genuinely drives success — disciplined thinking, decisive action, and integrity.
We discuss:
- Why mindset and execution matter more than ideas alone
- Customer adoption as the true test of innovation
- The value of coachable leadership
- Using AI wisely without surrendering judgement
Craig offers a timely reminder: “Wisdom is the proper use of intelligence.”
