We were joined by parent Dame Emma Walmsley, CEO and Board Director of the global biopharma company GSK.
Dame Emma described her career progression from her first job in a consultancy firm, to L’Oréal, then to GSK. She shared her optimism and hope for the next generation, especially all the young women getting ready to enter the workforce in the audience. She was passionate about the large strides being made in vaccination technology, as well as pursuing a greater level of equality throughout the whole of GSK.
Dame Emma answered many questions, including how a new drug is chosen to be developed, whether or not prescriptions should be free and what it’s like to be a woman working in such a high position in STEM.
