After joining one of the most innovative pharma companies on the planet 13 years ago, it was emotional to say #goodbye to my MSD family on my #lastday.
The last 13 years have been an incredible journey with a lot of great accomplishments that I am very proud of, including: Helping to set the foundations for Spain&Italy Digital Transformation back in 2007, Leading the Digital&Tech Schering-Plough merger in Turkey in 2010, Leading Emerging Market commercial Digital&Tech harmonization in 2013 and more recently launching a regional Social Media&Digital Hub in Cairo and running one of the first open innovation platforms in the industry (MSD Innovation Factory), and working/partnering with great startups and colleagues across franchises.
But most important, this would not have been possible without the amazing people that worked shoulder to shoulder with me at MSD/Merck&Co during these years. I take with me beautiful memories and I will miss you all. It's especially hard to say goodbye to the amazing leaders from EEMEA LT and to my team. The same team that I helped to grow and shape. Even when we were geographically distributed across many time zones this was one of the most positive and productive teams that I ever met. Every day we embraced ambiguity and used chaos as a ladder as we practice what we preach.... Be Agile. Experiment. Fail. Learn. Repeat.

We built a great culture and with the help of our friend and dear coach Tim Price we discover our purpose as a Team and our #1 rule "Nobody gets to be wrong or right".
I feel deeply grateful and humble watching the farewell video from my team and I will keep it close to my heart as I move into my next chapter.
Finally, to all my fellow MSD/Merck&Co. friends around the world, thank you for your support, collaboration and love!
Above all, we wore MSD ideology on our sleeve reminding us that medicine is for the patient.
"We try to remember that medicine is for the patient. We try never to forget that medicine is for the people. It is not for the profits. The profits follow, and if we have remembered that, they have never failed to appear. The better we have remembered it, the larger they have been" George W. Merck
I hope we'll stay in touch and that our paths will cross again soon, as we all continue to inventing for life whatever path we take.
Here’s to the movers, the shakers and the troublemakers of MSD - the patients are waiting!
