Episode 10: Elvan Akalin, Head of Procurement at UCB
Interested to find out what procurement within a pharmaceutical company is all about? (I was!)
We discussed (of course):
What is procurement? How has the current climate and global warning affected procurement? What skills does Elvan look for when hiring? And how is she helping to get young talents into this industry.
I’ll end this post with a quote from our episode that stood out for me:
“We assume too much sometimes […] and it’s up to us to take the lead on our personal development, be honest about what you want to do and how you want to evolve in an organisation”.
