Liar,liar,pants on fire!Yesterdays Townhall was atrocious. No Empathy, lies, delusion, nothing.
4 BMS people out of 7 Leaders?!?
Which wheels??Danone and BMS for relatively short periods suggests her skills at restructure burn and move is a habit. Though funny she wouldn’t make much money in LTIP as she’s not reaching the 3 year mark. Let’s make sure she doesn’t hit two years at Novartis. The wheels already in motion for that.
Michelle joined BMS in May/June 2021 and announced her new team in January 2022. LinkedIn profiles can show who she brought in by their hiring date. Most were hired 2H 2021.Re the BMS people in her Novartis team now. Were they at BMS before her or did she hire them? @BMSInsider
Michelin will roll over herWhich wheels??
Weeso horny?We had a nickname for her at Mars
One of her visions for BMS - that she actually shared in a meeting with Executive Leadership Team counterparts - was to "end institutional racism". So there's that.Did I understand her correctly at the town hall? Her vision for reimagining medicine is to pay millions to Beyoncé to alleviate the pain of our patients? How was this clown and her troop of goons ever hired ?
Well at least she has lowered her expectations since her time at BMS, when she said our ambition was to end institutional racism...Did I understand her correctly at the town hall? Her vision for reimagining medicine is to pay millions to Beyoncé to alleviate the pain of our patients? How was this clown and her troop of goons ever hired ?
Not sure who is there from BMS but my suspicion is they were her people that she hired after joining, since she fired or chased away anyone who would stand up to her nonsense.Re the BMS people in her Novartis team now. Were they at BMS before her or did she hire them? @BMSInsider
hungry-man frozen dinners ~and~ vlasic pickles?"Michelle’s brand roster includes many of the world’s most recognized and respected brands, such as M&M’s, Snickers, Starburst, Skittles, Dove Chocolates, Pedigree Dog Food, Nutro Dog Food, Whiska’s Cat Food, Uncle Ben’s Rice, Duncan Hines, Hungry-Man Frozen Dinners, Aunt Jemima Frozen Breakfast products, Vlasic Pickles, Birds Eye Frozen Vegetables, Seattle’s Best Coffee Company, Cinnabon, Popeye’s Chicken & Biscuits and Church’s Chicken."
Ah yes, on par with Apple, Nike and Patagonia
"Michelle’s experience includes food safety; health & nutrition; sustainability; supply chain, sourcing, country of origin and labor issues; product recalls; litigation communication, regulatory investigations; manufacturing, plant and site safety and preparedness; shootings, bomb threats, gang related incidents; and more."
Stay safe everyone - she has experience in shootings, bomb threats and gang related incidents.
One of the worst examples of failing up ever. No surprise she ended up at Novartis. Likely BMS couldn’t wait to get rid of her.Don't bother. She annihilated BMS corporate affairs. Ask anyone who used to work there and they won't have one positive thing to say about her.
It's safe to assume that anyone at BMS who works with or in the corporate affairs team was thrilled to see her go...and shocked to learn she landed in the same role at Novartis. Did Chris fire her? Did he tell her she had six months to find a new role? Or did Michelle know that Chris saw through her charade and wasn't going to tolerate her as Giovanni had? We'll never know, and those of us at BMS don't care. She's gone. What's sad is that some very talented colleagues also are gone because of Michelle's scorched earth policy that seemed focused on one thing: break apart a very strong team. Look, we weren't perfect. We knew a new leader meant change was coming, but, holy smokes, no one was prepared for the havoc she wreaked. Things were chaotic prior to Michelle arriving, however she created more chaos. It was nuts. Michelle told me Giovanni gave her six months to restructure the team to her liking; it took her seven. I told her no one was opposed to change, but she needed to align it to a vision and strategy that supported business objectives. She didn't seem to understand that, so she didn't do that. Instead, she proposed high-profile ideas, like celebrity endorsements, getting Giovanni a speaking opportunity at Davos, and Super Bowl commercials, rather than learning the pharma business and figuring out how to tweak a decent department so that it was better than anyone thought we could be. It's a shame. People's lives were unnecessarily turned upside down because of one woman's ignorance, hubris, and ego.One of the worst examples of failing up ever. No surprise she ended up at Novartis. Likely BMS couldn’t wait to get rid of her.
That would entail Giovanni not having made so many bad decisions during his tenure. The company can’t manufacture, can’t launch, keeps duds, and sells blockbusters. The only thing left is to be a bank. All of the poor decisions came directly from the c-suite. The CEO at Novartis is no different. Completely in over his head from day one. So I suppose mediocre breads mediocrity.Same thing happened at BMS. Rather than admit he made a horrible decision when he hired Michelle, Giovanni, former BMS CEO, directed his leadership team to help her succeed. Clearly, she didn't win that team's respect because the minute Giovanni announced he was retiring and Chris Boehner was his successor, Michelle had to have known her days at BMS were numbered. It's shocking that she was given another, high-profile role. It's not shocking that the team at Norvartis is now in shambles. What's that saying about the definition of insanity? It's doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
