'I'm not trying to turn GSK into Google': How GSK's Silicon Valley veteran has transformed the pharma giant into a tech powerhouse

For much of her early career, Shobie Ramakrishnan called Silicon Valley home. GSK's chief digital and technology officer (CDTO) worked for years at tech giants like Apple and Salesforce before making the switch to the increasingly tech-savvy pharmaceutical sector.

The article from MSN discusses how GSK, a major pharmaceutical company, has undergone a significant transformation under the leadership of Luke Miels, a former Silicon Valley executive. Miels, who joined GSK in 2017, has introduced a tech-driven approach to the company, focusing on data, AI, and machine learning to enhance drug discovery and development processes. His strategy includes fostering a culture of innovation, reducing bureaucracy, and speeding up decision-making, which has led to GSK becoming more agile and competitive in the pharmaceutical industry. Despite his tech background, Miels emphasizes that GSK is not trying to become another Google but rather aims to leverage technology to improve its core business of pharmaceuticals. This shift has not only changed internal operations but also how GSK interacts with external partners, aiming for a more collaborative and open innovation ecosystem.
