This month's Digital Transformation Series is another thought-provoking conversation.

Mehrnaz Campbell was joined by Nina Fyhn, Commercial Excellence Manager, Immunology North Europe at Sanofi. 

With over 25 years' experience in pharmaceutical sales roles, Nina brings a wealth of insight and a refreshingly honest perspective.

We discussed:

- The importance of authenticity in communication with HCPs
- Moving away from buzzwords to address real industry challenges
- Why it's time to speak more openly about what’s working and what isn’t working in Pharma

In this episode of our Digital Transformation Series I am joined by the amazing Carlos Eid, MD! 

Carlos is a Medical Doctor and global pharmaceutical professional with over 14 years of experience spanning medical affairs, market access and field medical excellence. 

He currently leads the Cardiovascular Medical Affairs team for International Markets, where he applies his expertise across diverse geographies. 

He is driven by the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on clinical practice and patient outcomes. 

Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable perspectives from one of the industry's leading voices.

Mehrnaz Campbell chats with Fi Edwards and Katie Langdon, sisters and founders of Skin + Blister – the agency that exists so that nobody feels lost in healthcare.
 
Managing Director, Fi Edwards, is passionate about impactful communications that help improve lives. Having worked in pharmaceutical marketing for her entire career, Fi loves collaborating with commercial teams to find solutions to big strategic challenges. She is a champion for patients in human and animal health, as well as clinical trials. An empathetic leader who advocates for a remote culture, Fi is determined to retain amazing talent within the creative industry, no matter what life throws their way.
 
Creative Director, Katie Langdon, is an innovator with a huge passion for omnichannel content. Katie leads with purpose and will always speak her mind (with kindness). Katie is a master of taking complex information and making it meaningful, accessible and useful for all. And her creativity works, having won national and international health and wellness awards along the way. Katie is always looking one step ahead and inspires her internal team and external client partners to consider the potential to use AI for good in healthcare.
 
Fi and Katie are on a mission to put the care back into healthcare communications. They are looking forward to delving into the topics of omnichannel communication.

In this episode of the Digital Transformation Series Mehrnaz chats with Alyssa Fenoglio - a bold, purpose-driven leader with a global track record in brand-building, digital innovation and AI-powered transformation. Currently VP, Global Head of Digital Commercial at Teva Pharmaceuticals, Alyssa brings deep insight from P&G, Medtronic, Sanofi - and beyond. 

In this episode of the Digital Transformation Series, Mehrnaz chatted with Andrew Binns, Global Marketing Director of Croda Pharma.

Andrew Binns began his marketing career working with English Premier League football clubs and major tourist boards, including Visit Britain and Visit California. In these roles, he developed a deep understanding of audience mindsets and behaviours, recognising the power of strategic engagement.

Building on this foundation, he trained in COM-B, the behaviour change framework, and later became a BJ Fogg-accredited practitioner, refining his expertise in driving meaningful behavioural shifts.

His ability to engage audiences in innovative and creative ways caught the attention of the pharma industry, leading to his recruitment with a clear mandate: to disrupt the status quo and drive real change.

During his time at AstraZeneca, he challenged conventional thinking, tearing up unrealistic omnichannel theories and replacing them with a pragmatic, real-world customer engagement strategy. The impact was immediate - significantly increasing HCP engagement.

In this episode of the Digital Transformation Series, Mehrnaz chats with Nico Renner from BeiGene.

Nico isn’t your typical pharma marketeer: He considers himself as a hybrid between business and biotechnology, as he studied both.

Almost by coincidence, Nico started to work on digital transformation projects in oncology at Roche Germany. Further gathering experiences in Social Media Management for Patient Education in Ophthalmology. Currently, he is working for BeiGene in Switzerland as a product manager. Nico brings new perspectives and questions to pharma, as he does not even know "the old days".

Nico is a firm believer in outcome-driven marketing. His signature approach? "No shiny slides, but tangible results. Marketing is not about opinions, but data." When he’s not redefining the marketing playbook, you can find him sparking thoughtful discussions on LinkedIn about the future of pharma marketing, digital engagement, and customer experience in pharma.

In January, I chatted with Nyambe “Yam” Sumbwanyambe. 🎙️ 

Yam is a dynamic, innovative leader with nearly two decades of experience in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries. Yam has established a reputation for driving commercial excellence, fostering inclusion and championing professional development. 

In 2023, he founded The Black Sherpa Podcast, a platform dedicated to empowering social mobility through candid conversations on personal development, career progression and overcoming systemic barriers. 

Born in Zambia and raised in the UK, Yam’s journey reflects resilience, adaptability and ingenuity.

Carolina is known for her passion, energy, dedication, commitment, and her strong ability to build consensus. With over 10 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry and a background in public relations, marketing, and communications. She later specialised in digital marketing and transformation, taking on key roles at Pfizer and Grünenthal. 

In the next in the Digital Transformation Series, Mehrnaz Campbell will be talking to Christian Wöckel, Head of RSV Franchise @Vaccines Germany & Austria for Sanofi.

With a passion for Digital Transformation, and a strong drive for results and impact, Christian has helped different organisations and business units to transform in a world of constant change and digital disruption. 

With a fixer-mindset, Christian enables teams and individuals to solve challenges that come with (digital) transformation.

I talk to Marco Andre, Global Head of AI and Marketing Excellence at Novartis. I was particularly excited because Marco is quite unique. He possesses extensive experience in AI and automation, yet he brings a refreshing humility to how these tools can be applied in the pharmaceutical industry.

Marco is a keynote speaker, an AI advisor to executives, and a published author. With over 20 years of experience in companies such as Google, Procter & Gamble, and YouTube, he has held local, regional, and global roles in marketing, sales, partnerships, and operations. Outside of work, Marco is the author of the book Imperfect Stories, a passionate Lego enthusiast, and a proud owner of more than 20 sets. 

I believe I first met Marco in person in Dubrovnik in May this year, where he delivered two memorable presentations. On Day 1, he gave a talk titled "The Hype is Gone, It's Time to Grieve," focusing on generative AI. His presentation was so entertaining that I found myself sitting at the edge of my seat; it was fast-paced yet highly engaging. I think he received the highest score for the upfront presentation that day. On the second day, he led a brilliant interactive panel discussion about learning from failures. I thoroughly enjoyed his sessions—they were fun, interactive, and refreshingly real.
