00:00:00.250 --> 00:00:03.753
- The future leaders
actually need to be bold,

00:00:03.753 --> 00:00:05.380
courageous, fearless

00:00:05.380 --> 00:00:06.840
in this time of changes.

00:00:07.007 --> 00:00:12.804
Soft Music

00:00:13.596 --> 00:00:16.516
- Gab, you've worked in
leadership positions in numerous

00:00:16.516 --> 00:00:18.184
biopharma companies.

00:00:18.184 --> 00:00:19.978
How has that shaped your approach

00:00:19.978 --> 00:00:21.604
to leadership in your current position?

00:00:21.604 --> 00:00:24.399
- Yeah. I've spent my entire
career in life science

00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:25.442
more than 20 years.

00:00:25.442 --> 00:00:27.819
I started in a manufacturing facility

00:00:27.819 --> 00:00:31.781
and then, you know, I move
into headquarters, right?

00:00:32.949 --> 00:00:37.871
So I really experience the
organization from, you know,the
edge to, you know, the center.

00:00:39.831 --> 00:00:42.375
And I think this helped me actually

00:00:42.375 --> 00:00:45.128
to understand the
complexity of a big pharma

00:00:45.128 --> 00:00:50.091
and how to operate into a
very complex environment

00:00:50.091 --> 00:00:54.220
and really the opportunity
to understand how

00:00:54.220 --> 00:00:56.931
technology can help connecting,
right, the different parts

00:00:56.931 --> 00:01:00.894
of organization and create
value across

00:01:00.894 --> 00:01:02.312
the entire value chain.

00:01:02.312 --> 00:01:04.898
- If you would advise other leaders

00:01:04.898 --> 00:01:08.026
and maybe specifically other CDTOs,

00:01:08.026 --> 00:01:09.402
what are your top three pieces

00:01:09.402 --> 00:01:11.780
of advice in the current environment?

00:01:11.780 --> 00:01:13.490
- The current environment
is very volatile.

00:01:13.490 --> 00:01:15.700
I think we are living in

00:01:15.700 --> 00:01:18.495
incredible timings, actually.

00:01:19.454 --> 00:01:23.124
The geopolitical tensions, the
macroeconomic environment,

00:01:23.124 --> 00:01:28.046
the pressure on the health care
systems, pressures, also on your,

00:01:28.046 --> 00:01:31.716
on the performances,
right, of our companies.

00:01:31.716 --> 00:01:36.054
My advice is to being a leader

00:01:36.054 --> 00:01:38.556
that could encompass basically
three different aspects

00:01:38.556 --> 00:01:39.641
of, of being a leader.

00:01:39.641 --> 00:01:42.060
The first one of course,
be a functional leader,

00:01:42.060 --> 00:01:45.230
be committed to deliver
value for the organization.

00:01:45.230 --> 00:01:48.316
The second actually add is a new add, is

00:01:48.316 --> 00:01:49.776
actually being a people leader.

00:01:50.735 --> 00:01:53.363
All our organizations are
changing very rapidly,

00:01:53.363 --> 00:01:55.740
and I think we need to consider how the,

00:01:55.740 --> 00:01:57.951
the workforce right,
will evolve over time.

00:01:57.951 --> 00:02:01.287
And the third one is actually
being a digital leader.

00:02:01.287 --> 00:02:04.958
It doesn't mean be a
technology or a technologist,

00:02:04.958 --> 00:02:08.962
but actually embrace a new
mindset, focused on customer,

00:02:08.962 --> 00:02:13.007
on value creation, on
long-term value generation,

00:02:13.007 --> 00:02:15.885
about the speed, agility,
but also resiliency.

00:02:15.885 --> 00:02:17.720
And so this is a moment where, you know,

00:02:17.720 --> 00:02:19.848
we need a new generation of leaders

00:02:19.848 --> 00:02:23.226
that can really help
our, our organization to

00:02:23.226 --> 00:02:27.105
be future-ready and create
value for long term.

00:02:27.105 --> 00:02:31.234
The future leaders actually
need to be bold, courageous,

00:02:31.234 --> 00:02:35.738
fearless in this time of changes, need to

00:02:35.738 --> 00:02:39.033
take measured risks,
challenge the status quo,

00:02:40.869 --> 00:02:44.831
actually reimagine the
boundaries of what is possible,

00:02:46.124 --> 00:02:48.293
and drive changes and innovation.

00:02:48.293 --> 00:02:50.295
And ultimately in these turbulent

00:02:50.295 --> 00:02:52.672
times
that we are living, consider

00:02:52.672 --> 00:02:57.010
challenges as not boundaries
or guardrails,

00:02:57.010 --> 00:03:00.722
but as an opportunity to
reimagine the organization

00:03:00.722 --> 00:03:02.849
and to to drive innovation
and value creation.

00:03:03.016 --> 00:03:08.021
