Today's guest is Bin Xu, Head of Digital Innovation Labs at Pfizer in China and South East Asia.

In this episode, Bin Xu shares why innovation in finance can help to improve access to healthcare, why people working in legacy (or conservative) industries should think more like an entrepreneur, and how China needs to "up its game" in terms of respecting nurses and doctors.

Bin Xu and Nathan met through the Young China Watchers (YCW), a community of young professionals engaged with the most pressing issues emerging from the Middle Kingdom. Learn more about YCW and connect with Bin Xu on LinkedIn.
