Executive Overview
Throughout my 30-year career in the biopharmaceutical industry, I am convinced that engaging the patient in our vision is the best way for our company to be successful in the long term. Looking at the person beyond the disease is essential to understand what really matters to them and to search for new innovative solutions and ensure effective treatment. I also believe in the huge importance and impact of collaboration: all healthcare players - physicians, payors, patients and caregivers, industry and academia - should cooperate even more effectively and become stronger partners sharing a same goal: improving patient care.
