"The culture in IQVIA is to be constantly looking at how we can do things better to help our customers, to bring life-changing medicines to patients and also to be a part in designing and developing and implementing these solutions.

"First of all, we are humans, we have some moments in our lives that are so very important and we need to respect. And something I also always love about IQVIA was that my leaders and people with which I have been working, they always respected a lot as well our personal lives. I never miss a parents' meeting of my kids, and this is something that we shouldn't be giving for granted."
