The honorees “stand as a driving force, ensuring diverse perspectives on scientific breakthroughs and groundbreaking therapies,” according to the publication. “Their achievements serve as inspiration, paving the way for future generations of women leaders in biotech to continue shaping the future of healthcare.”

“I am immensely proud of Kristen for earning this designation,” said Derek Maetzold, president and chief executive officer of Castle Biosciences. “As one of our company’s founders, Kristen has been invaluable to the success of our organization. To be honored among the nation’s elite women leaders in biotechnology is a testament to her fortitude and tenacious leadership.”

Oelschlager joined Castle Biosciences in 2008 as the executive director of operations, being promoted to vice president of clinical operations in 2013, senior vice president of clinical operations in 2018 and to her current role of chief operating officer in 2021. Her extensive background of more than 15 years in clinical nursing, clinical operations services and clinical research brought a unique perspective that has been instrumental in Castle's success and growth from an early start-up to a thriving public company with almost 600 employees. Additionally, she has been influential in shaping the Company’s strategy and people-first culture, which have, in turn, helped garner Castle’s designation as a national Top Workplace for the last two consecutive years.
