Andy Sklawer, COO and co-founder of Brickell Biotech, says the clinical-stage, dermatology-focused pharmaceutical company relocated its headquarters from Miami to Boulder because of the central location with easy access for its remote team.

While the company’s physical headquarters is in Boulder, the company has employees located across the country. “We now have a central hub for our company,” he says. “Members of our team are here almost every other week, whereas in Miami, it became exceedingly challenging to have the team, particularly those individuals on the west coast, all in one place. By having this central hub, we can recruit both locally and across the U.S. and it’s easy for us to conduct frequent domestic and international business travel.”
