Nancy Sullivan is the CEO and Managing Director of IllinoisVENTURES, a venture capital company that brings together science and business to build up companies that might not be able to secure funding through other avenues. Sullivan discusses how taking an ethical, innovative approach to venture capital practices is an important commitment to make – the behavior of the company has to be a top priority. On being a leader, Sullivan says that tenacity and hard work go a long way in motivating employees to do the best work that they can do – and if they see that the top-levels of the company are putting a lot of work into the company, talented and dedicated employees are more apt to stay with the company.
