“ Being part of the MLDP has provided a unique opportunity for accelerated development early in my career. I have made meaningful contributions by supporting critical projects within the network. I have also worked closely with senior leaders to develop skills such as facilitation, effective leadership, and problem solving. With my experience working abroad on an international rotation, I gained a new perspective on different ways of working and the expansiveness of our global network. It has been a transformative three years being part of the MLDP.

“ Before joining the MLDP program, I worked in clinical research but lacked a clear vision for my future. The program has been transformative, developing my leadership capabilities, technical skills, and business acumen while aligning my strengths with my passions. To address a technical gap, I took on an international engineering role in Ireland, gaining cross-cultural experience and new perspectives. These experiences have accelerated my growth and equipped me to step confidently into future leadership roles in the industry.
