Future pharma host, Romain Bonjean, CEO of RoseRx, sits down with David Henderson, Franchise Head Specialty Oceania at Takeda, who brings over 20 years of biopharmaceutical leadership experience including 13 years at Biogen where he rose to Managing Director for Australia and New Zealand.
They explore what it means to lead with empathy in a digital age, how leadership approaches shift across international markets, and the cultural shifts toward personalized healthcare and patient segmentation. David discusses his bold call for Medical Affairs to move beyond the "zone of science" and become "agents of change," the ongoing tension between Medical Affairs and commercial teams and whether AI can help bridge that gap or fundamentally change what the job actually is.
He also shares insights on the risks of over-segmentation, what keeps him up at night about the industry's future, and advice for new leaders navigating healthcare's rapid transformation.
