Pine Street Inn’s Post

I have very mixed emotions today, as it is my last day with Takeda. I joined the company through an acquisition of Shire and have been at the combined company since 2016. There is so much to be proud of over my tenure here and so many friendships that I've made, and I will cherish it forever. My career wouldn't be where it is today if not for the support and trust put in me by special leaders like Luis F. Rojas and the opportunities afforded to me by a company with a mission that is so much bigger than myself or any single person. It's daunting to think about being part of an organization that is based thousands of miles away, has existed since 1781 (!!!), impacts countless people's lives in profound ways, and does so with an incredibly strong value system. The PTRB (Patient-Trust-Reputation-Business) way of thinking has left a permanent shift in my ideology and philosophy, teaching me so much about what it means to think bigger than one's self. I hope that I was able to contribute to that mission in a meaningful way, even if only transient like a single snare hit over the course of an album. It's wild to look back to when I started at the company in 2016, fresh out of business school, full of energy and ambition, and largely inexperienced in the dynamics of how a massive global organization really functions. It's one thing to have read about how executive level decisions are made, how to influence those decisions, how to be both a good leader and a good manager but it's another to practice them. I had the amazing fortune of learning under Luis F. Rojas, a person that I will always look up to as what a leader and a man should be. He taught me so much about leading with humility and integrity, challenging with respect, treating others equally and fairly regardless of their level or background, and how to be a great manager at the same time. More than all of that, he taught me how to be a better person, father, and partner. He afforded me the opportunity to be part of conversations at the highest level that I could have only dreamed of when reading about them in business school case studies. I was able to be a part of executive conversations and decisions on shaping how we supported employees at the onset of the pandemic, shaping our return-to-work policies, and informing how we prioritize the things that truly mattered to our incredible workforce. Success doesn't occur in a vacuum; it happens when everyone is aligned on a common purpose, and you are afforded the opportunity to make a difference. These accomplishments are not my own, they are of the team I was a part of. This is the lesson that Takeda has taught me and that I will take with me forever. My next step brings me back into the People Analytics space and I'm really excited to take everything I've learned to build another world-class team. It's equal parts scary and exciting to start over but that's what makes it fun! Thank you, Takeda, for everything you have done for my career.

This ends up an extraordinary chapter of my life – six years at Sun Pharmaceutical Industries. 🌞 🔍 **The Journey:** Sun Pharma has been more than an organization; it's been my canvas for growth, resilience, and impact.

I’m filled with gratitude after speaking at Merck's Q4 Town Hall yesterday to the incredible team in the trades. It’s always a privilege to share mindset tools and hear the personal stories and emotions of those who open up. The opportunity to offer just a bit of guidance makes this work so rewarding. ❤️🏆 A special thank you to Ed Spooner for not only inviting me to speak but also giving me an amazing tour of Merck’s facility afterward. To see firsthand the operations within this "mini city" and witness the extraordinary work being done—especially in the realm of vaccines—was nothing short of inspiring. The level of dedication, focus on safety, and the shared commitment to making an impact in healthcare is truly remarkable. The conversations around stress, safety, mindset, and Merck’s core values left a lasting impression on me. It’s clear that Merck not only values these things, but actively integrates them into every aspect of its work. I’m deeply grateful to be able to contribute in any way to the important work being done here. Huge thanks again to Ed Spooner and Milani Johnson, CHST for making the event run so smoothly and for their warm hospitality. Your thoughtful support means everything. Remember, everything is figureoutable, and being grateful for the little things really does make all the difference. #Grateful #MindsetMatters #Merck #Vaccines #Safety #StressManagement #GivingBack #TheChampionWithin #Trades #ShutdownSeason #MerckValues #Mindset

This week is my one year anniversary with Roche as the Chief Diversity Officer, and as I look back I want to share a few reflections. When I first joined Roche we began with a change journey and worked as a team to understand our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) strategy, mission and values and identify places for further capability building across the company. I see and understand that the world around us is becoming more complex and intense, and we are faced with challenges from world crises, to our own internal struggles on an almost daily basis. While we can’t change all the things happening around us, I believe we have the opportunity to actively influence the culture at Roche which can have a real impact on our people, our patients and on society. To me, this is what matters most about the work we do and what also has the potential to make lasting change. Throughout this year, I have learned firsthand that the work we do requires empathy, compassion and open-mindedness. To show up in this way we must also take care of ourselves, wellbeing is a must. I encourage and support my team in taking care and nurturing these parts of their lives, and I commit to continuing to lead by example and do the same. As leaders, I believe it is our responsibility to approach our work as bus drivers. We need to know the direction we are headed, be prepared and plan for many stops along the way, and know that some people stay on the bus, some new people may join and some people may stop riding the bus altogether. Change is certain, but staying the course can help to manage the things we can't control along the way, just like a bus driver.  As I look toward the end of 2024 and into next year, our DE&I purpose remains focused on embracing the unique power of each person to transform the lives of patients and society, through access to clinical trials, driving an inclusive environment, and advancing positive change in society. And I remain energized in driving these efforts. Stay tuned for more and thank you to my team and colleagues at Roche for making this an amazing year. #diversity #RocheProud #inclusion #equity #teamwork #DEI #chiefdiversityofficer
