Aker Solutions delivers integrated solutions, products and services to the global energy industry. They enable low-carbon oil and gas production and develop renewable solutions to meet future energy needs. By combining innovative digital solutions and predictable project execution they accelerate the transition to sustainable energy production. From our conversation it was clear that Nada was passionate about the environment and working hard on the transition from traditional to renewable forms of energy at Aker Solution. 

Alongside her role at Aker Solutions Nada is also very productive in her industry, for example she’s currently serving as the Board Director at Greig Maritime Group. Nada is also head of the board of the Polytechnical society Digital Leadership Community and, on top of this, regularly hosts LIVE events on LinkedIn to connect with those in her network. Nada explains how she is constantly working on her transformation journey both professionally and personally with this being clear to see through the way she is continually bettering herself but also using her insights and knowledge to help and educate others through the work she does both in her communities and online.

In this interview, Nada discusses her passion for Agile leadership as well as Diversity and Inclusion in the workplace. Nada explains why she believes this to be so important when building a team and also gives advice on how to manage a diverse team and how to get the work culture right. As well as this, she expresses her passion for encouraging other females into tech and STEM careers, giving advice of how and where to get started.

Speaking with Global Pharmaceutical Marketing Leader, Elisabeth Mostofi Nejad-Duernsteiner

31m · Published 13 Sep 09:00

We recently sat down with Elisabeth Mostofi Nejad-Duernsteiner, a Global Pharmaceutical Marketing Leader with a breadth of experience across a variety of therapeutic areas and regions around the world. She has a proven launch record with innovation and digital health and applies a patient-centric mindset with the vision to drive equity and equality to improve healthcare. 

An Economist by trade, Elisabeth brings an alternative business approach to pharmaceutical marketing and starting in the industry as a Commercial Representative, she recognises the importance of the customer and how to sell to your audience. 

Elisabeth is extremely passionate about driving patient centricity, focusing on individual patient needs. She discusses how many healthcare care research tools such as questionnaires and research studies are often biased to a certain group of people, sometimes unconsciously, and how this can have an effect on the wider population and underrepresented groups. Data on the safety and efficiency of drugs are normally derived from male patients and therefore we need to include data from females and people of different ethnicities to generate data and research that is truly representative and inclusive. 

Along with this disparity in research, Elisabeth also discusses the issues concerning access to healthcare, particularly in countries such as Latin America and Africa, a cause that she is extremely passionate about. 

In this interview,  Elisabeth also shares her insights on leadership. She discusses how to establish an area of “psychological safety”, an environment where people can feel comfortable voicing their uncertainties and can ask questions, express concerns and put forward ideas without judgement is extremely important. Elisabeth advises that an increase in agility and curiosity paired with an organisation that allows failure can drive transformation success forward.
