The journey from academia to leadership in the medical and scientific field was driven by a desire for greater impact. Emphasizing a people-first leadership philosophy, the individual recognizes the importance of enabling teams rather than directing them. Continuous self-development and a broad perspective beyond one's own field are crucial for effective leadership in a rapidly evolving industry. The commitment to making precision medicine accessible globally through collaboration among academia, industry, and medical societies remains a priority.
