Today is my last day at Sanofi. While a LinkedIn post can't capture the privilege it's been to lead such amazing teams for more than six years, I want to sincerely thank all Sanofians for their relentless commitment and dedication to improving people's lives. From the labs to the manufacturing lines, from the field to the office teams, I've been inspired every day by our people's sense of purpose and the unique Sanofi spirit that unites them. I’m leaving with deep confidence in the foundations we have laid. We prioritized investing in our science, and that was the right thing to do. Building an innovative and sustainable pipeline takes a decade. When you aspire to bring real breakthroughs for patients, you can expect bumps along the way. Innovation always comes with uncertainty. That is not a weakness of our model—it is the very nature of scientific progress. Real impact for patients demands we never settle. On a personal note, I've known Belén Garijo for almost 20 years, since we were both General Managers in Spain. I know she will give her all to take our journey further and deliver these miracles for patients. I wish her—and the incredible ExCom team—all the success they deserve.
