Michelle Weese

If you’re building something great, you’re bound to encounter critics. That’s just a sign you’re doing something worth noticing. Michelle is one of the most experienced Corporate Affairs leaders in the pharma industry. She doesn’t tolerate nonsense or carry dead weight. Sorry. Nor is she about placating egos. If that’s a problem, the issue is you. In my book, MW.

How was your holiday Michelle
 


















Bystander here enjoying the thread. As a former National Security consultant and current executive at an American biotech company, I'll say this: the Swiss are allied with BRICS and are out to undermine our country. They exploit our legal and healthcare systems to extract our resources and bleed us. If Michelle is helping Novartis and the USA rid itself of Swiss influence and corruption, she deserves a Medal of Freedom.

What absolute bollocks. Get a life you sad wannabee.

Most experienced in
A. Lying about fake accomplishments
B. Creating chaos as diversion for lack of strategy
C. Building an organization where the dumb and inexperienced plead fealty (even in said blog posts)
D. Grifting and creating a management culture of corporate tourism and excess
E. All of the above
 






Funny how the loudest critics are often the LEAST qualified to talk about performance. Michelle inherited a mess and had to make tough calls to clean it up. If you didn’t make the cut, maybe focus on finding a new job instead of taking CHEAP shots from the sidelines.
It would be foolish to use performance as your benchmark on Michelle’s success. In 18 months the performance, productivity, strategy, clarity, operations, proactivity, defensibility have tanked.

There has been more negative media, negative internal results, negative sentiment, lower patient advocacy scores, and let’s be honest, no one within the organization knows who does what anymore.

People are waiting for the next reorg and leader to help fix this mess.

Michelle didn't inherit a mess. She inherited a team of great people who knew how to deliver and how to do pharma comms.
All of those great people of an NFL or Premier League standard have been replaced by reserve players from lower leagues or those with no idea on how to even kick a football straight. The fire everyone strategy has failed and just like the share price a lot of people are going down. It's sad that it's taken this long for people to work out Michelle is the problem not the people who came before her.
 






Shame on the liars that post on this thread! Just leave our very successful company. Don’t let the door hit your big arse.
"Very successful company".
Leqvio is already an industry case study on how to fail and look foolish doing it.
60% off forecast after 3+ years and, literally, the biggest industry failure of the last decade.
They took $9.5B dollars and threw it in a burn pit.
Can they absorb it? Sure, but at a cost of jobs and reputation.
Do " very successful companies" make humiliating $9.5B fuckups and destroy promising products because of their own incompetence and rank ineptitude?
No, they do not.

Luckily Novartis has "one of the most experienced Corporate Affairs leaders in the pharma industry" with proven ability to sell frozen dinners

Please point to that 'something great' that Michelle has built. All I see is a legacy of deconstruction by a person who jumps from job to job, company to company because her attempts at 'doing something worth noticing' fail. This thread is now 12 pages long and is 99% negative comments from people from four companies. That is stunning. This is not about egos, no-nonsense leaders, or people's unwillingness to look at themselves and try to be better. Instead, it's about the one common denominator that connects all of us from Mars to Danone to BMS to Novartis, and the incredible mess she leaves behind.
