Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland
Working in healthcare provides opportunities to make a real difference; to make people’s lives better. It’s a purpose that has driven me for more than more than 25 years in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry, and I am passionate about using my platform to shine a spotlight on some of society’s most important healthcare issues. I want to help reshape the global conversation around healthcare sustainability. As a champion for patient access to innovative medicines, I advocate for countries and healthcare systems to view healthcare as a prudent investment that generates better health for populations and brings real returns for the healthcare systems the economy, and society. My goal as a leader is to create a diverse and inclusive environment where people are empowered to be their best selves and collaborate to have a real impact for patients. I care about my teams, and I like to work side by side where the action is, to roll up my sleeves, and be part of what’s going on. Growing up in six different countries and speaking six languages, I understand that diverse teams bring an exciting range of perspectives, challenges and ideas, which creates a more dynamic, fun and ultimately successful way of working. I believe that having a strong work-life balance is one of the keys to succeeding both personally and professionally and so, outside of work, you will find me with my husband and two boys, gardening, skiing, or exploring the great outdoors in my home country of Switzerland.
