Changing the corporate diabetes world from within - Veerle Huigen on making a difference, misdiagnosis and handling the corporate lifestyle
-
サマリー
あらすじ・解説
Veerle Huigen is, it’s fair to say, a powerhouse in the corporate world of diabetes. Successful, determined and focused, Veerle achieved career success in the Dutch charity and tech sectors before moving into the world of global pharma, spearheading huge changes in the future of diagnosis in her role as the North Europe Public Affairs Lead for autoimmune Type 1 Diabetes at Sanofi.
Veerle’s driving force is, unequivocally, diabetes, but more specifically shaping these influential companies from within to help make life better for people living with diabetes, based on her own experiences.
In this episode she describes how the shock and impact of an adult (mis)diagnosis changed her life’s work, and how the stigma she faced through childhood and adolescence because of her weight has put the power of language firmly on the agenda.
We also chat about how she juggles her health needs with the demands of a corporate lifestyle - advocating for herself while travelling, bossing client meetings and dealing with stakeholders - and her unshakeable belief in our ability to change the world, one conversation at a time.
