Luke Miels sheds light on GSK in­ter­nal changes, ‘very busy’ BD scene

GSK has been re­work­ing its R&D process, com­plete with a re­cent re­vamp on the re­search side. And ac­cord­ing to chief com­mer­cial of­fi­cer Luke Miels, the over­haul has had an im­pact on his team, too.

The en­tire or­ga­ni­za­tion has changed “a lot” over the past few years, Miels said at a fire­side chat dur­ing the Red­burn At­lantic CEO Con­fer­ence. The key idea? To make sure that peo­ple on the com­mer­cial side who are work­ing with the R&D team on projects are both “sci­en­tif­i­cal­ly flu­ent” and “com­mer­cial­ly cred­i­ble” — and vice ver­sa with­in the R&D unit. Un­der a “very flat struc­ture,” ther­a­peu­tic lead­er­ship teams are chaired by a com­mer­cial per­son, with the R&D leader be­ing a key part­ner.
