Against a backdrop of geopolitical, regulatory, and operational pressures, supply security has moved beyond a purely operational concern to become a core leadership responsibility. For executive teams and boards, ensuring continuity of supply is now closely linked to risk management, strategic positioning, and long-term value creation.
As regulatory requirements intensify and cost pressures persist, organisations must rethink how resilience is built across the value chain. This includes navigating geopolitical dependencies, balancing efficiency with redundancy, and strengthening decision-making at the leadership level.
Panellists:
- Rebecca Guntern – Chief Commercial Officer, Sandoz
