I have been fortunate and humbled over my eleven years at Roche to have experienced first-hand the commitment of my 90,000 colleagues around the World to bring life-changing medicines to patients. Courage, passion and integrity are at the centre of everybody I have worked with. There is a strong culture in Roche to support every individual to be the best that they can. There is focus both on what we deliver as an individual and how we do this. Managers within the organisation take a keen interest to support the development of everyone to be a leader in their role and to build their knowledge, skills and competencies for success. The Medicines we discover, research, develop and commercialise to change patients' lives are incredible: we set the bar for success very high to either be first in class or best in disease. The New Zealand team are incredibly dedicated, professional and it is a privilege to lead this group to fulfil our shared ambition: "Doing now what patients need next"

Life-changing medicines to patients.
