Over the last four and a half years at BDx, you moved from Head of Strategy to Chief Development Officer before becoming CEO in April 2023. Tell us more about your impressive journey and BDx’s evolution so far.
The journey at BDx over the past four and a half years has been a thrilling adventure. It’s like riding a wave of opportunities, and I am extremely lucky to be surrounded by a phenomenal team. It is the team that has been guiding me on converting half chances. This journey is a celebration of an incredible team coming together, and we couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve accomplished—expanding our footprint across five different countries in such a short time. And the fun is just beginning!
Something that sets us apart is humility. We respect the fact that each country has its own unique pulse, its own vibe. When people ask me about Asia, I have to remind them it’s not a one-size-fits-all situation; each country has its own flavor and rhythm. If you don’t take the time to understand and adapt to that, well, you’re setting yourself up for a rough ride. So, we’re all about embracing that diversity and tailoring our approach to fit the specific needs of each country. We’re not here to impose; we’re here to collaborate and build together. And that’s the mindset we’re sticking with as we move forward. We’re committed to fostering meaningful engagement and growth, especially in those areas that might get overlooked. It’s not about saying “No” to challenges—it’s about saying, “Let’s tackle this together, the right way.” That’s our ethos, and we’re staying true to it.
