In this episode, Ayesha spoke with Moreno Perugini, President of Active & Medical Nutrition, US & President of Global Pharmaceutical Therapies at Nestlé Health Science US.

As President of Global Pharmaceutical Therapies, Moreno and his team actively shape the healthcare system through innovative approaches and a strong commitment to delivering pharmaceutical products with a human-centered focus.

Throughout his career spanning over two decades, he has held leadership positions at pharmaceutical companies like AbbVie and Novartis. Notably, he has been instrumental in bringing multiple pharmaceutical technologies to market, across different therapeutic areas guided by his unwavering commitment to prioritizing patients and expanding access to treatment.

Moreno holds a master's degree in Pharmacoeconomics/Pharmaceutical Economics from Universität Pompeu Fabra – IDEC and an MBA from Bocconi.

Last year, Nestlé Health Science won FDA approval for Vowst (Ser-109) for the prevention of recurrent C. difficile infections. Moreno discusses the significance of the approval given the difficulty of treating the recurrent infections, which are usually acquired during hospital stays.

Tune into the episode to hear more about the work Moreno is leading at Nestlé Health Science, which includes both nutrition- and pharmaceutical-based treatments for GI conditions and gut health.
