The power to think globally and act locally! How a global strategy and project can be activated locally in different ways to move the needle for patients in different healthcare systems. Also, but definately not less important, patients leading a multistakeholder discussion to raise their voices about their unmet needs and being able to “co-create” solutions or next steps with health authorities. #globalhearthub #institutoladoalado #patientledresearch #patientengagement #advocacy #multistakeholderdiscussion

 I'm thrilled to witness Merz Aesthetics Latam becoming a standout region within our organization, making a significant impact on the global stage. Here are some numbers: we represent 15% of Merz Aesthetics, with Brazil being the third-largest affiliate worldwide. Plus, our region is one of the fastest-growing. Beyond the numbers, we can notice the thriving importance of the LATAM market through our people. In June, we had the pleasure of hosting the visit of many colleagues from other regions and global operations, at the renowned MEXS LATAM event. I would like to highlight the visits of two senior executives from Merz Aesthetics' global operations: Alexis Stern, Chief Marketing Officer of Merz Aesthetics and Michele Franklin, Senior Vice President, Global Professional Relations and Education. Their presence not only reinforces our pivotal position but also underscores the importance of LATAM to Merz Aesthetics' strategy. Our international colleagues’ visit fostered a valuable exchange of ideas and practices that will surely accelerate the growth of Merz Aesthetics LATAM and enhance our contribution to the business's global success. Together, across the world, we will continue to reach new heights! #MerzAesthetics #MerzAestheticsLATAM #ConfidenceToBe #GlobalBusiness

How many times have you received an idea and your first reaction was to reject it? What led you to do that? Why didn't you give it a chance? Years ago, when I was the General Manager of Novo Nordisk Brazil, we formed a leadership group to develop innovative projects. We ended up discarding many of the ideas presented, perhaps because they were not applicable to our reality at that time or due to a lack of curiosity in exploring them further. Today, with the WeLatam mindset of LOVE THE IDEA FOR FIVE MINUTES, I am pleased to see that each perspective is being better evaluated before being discarded too soon. With this culture: 1. We respect and value people's creativity. 2. We practice curiosity instead of making quick judgments.  3. ⁠We ask questions to better understand the context, avoiding forming hasty opinions. 4. We recognize the potential of an idea, even if it seems unfeasible at first. LOVE THE IDEA FOR FIVE MINUTES is what drives innovation. Therefore, my advice is: the next time an idea arises, be open and give it the space it deserves!

Apple is doing it once again 📱 🍎 They’re almost never first to launch a new technology but when they do they make sure its user friendly and completely optimized. Last week for the first time in Brazil 🇧🇷, a surgeon successfully used an Apple Vision Pro 🥽 headset to optimize a surgical procedure. 👨🏼‍⚕️Surgeon, Bruno Gobbato: "With this device, I was able to see the image on the size of a movie screen with high resolution, as well as being able to see the patient's exams and 3D models in real-time." Experts expect the device to be used routinely in Brazilian healthcare soon. Will be interesting to see how this evolves on a broader scale and how regulations and requirements to be able to use this fall in place. #AR #VR #Applevision #surgery

From Transformational Leadership to "Mano tengo fe (Bro, I Have Faith)" Considering the current football championships in Europe and America, I felt compelled to draw a parallel between what happens in a sports team and within organizations, particularly focusing on the role of leaders in driving their team members to excel and achieve organizational goals. To illustrate how a leader can influence team performance, let's consider the Venezuelan soccer team. Historically, Venezuela has not been a standout in the soccer world, but in the recent Copa América, they emerged as one of the tournament's revelations. What sparked this significant change? It boils down to a shift in the vision of their leaders, who have instilled a belief not only in the team members but also in the entire nation, epitomized by their popular slogan: "Bro, I have faith." But what does faith mean in organizational contexts, and what is the leader's role in this equation? This is where transformational leadership comes into play. Transformational leaders seek to inspire and motivate employees to achieve significant and positive changes within the organization. They do this by: ·      Communicating an Inspiring Vision: Offering a clear and compelling picture of the future that excites and motivates employees. ·      Acting with Integrity and Ethics: Building trust and earning the unwavering support of their team. ·      Effective Communication: Engaging employees with clear and persuasive communication. ·      Fostering Creativity and Innovation: Encouraging new ideas and approaches by challenging existing assumptions. ·      Providing Individualized Attention: Acting as mentors and coaches, recognizing, and developing each employee's unique strengths and talents. ·      Being Agents of Change: Leading initiatives that drive transformation within the organization. Just like in soccer, leaders must understand their role in developing their team's competencies without compromising their autonomy, enabling them to seize various market opportunities. Therefore, transformational leadership is essential in dynamic and ever-changing environments, where the ability to adapt and lead significant changes is crucial for long-term organizational success and to be able to say “Bro, I have faith.” #leadership #transformationalleadership #innovation #people #organizations

The power of speaking up to drive the change. Every individual can make the difference, creating consensus and need for action behind the right purpose. Because when you have one to inspire your people there are no if and no buts. Worth reading.

It’s a marathon, not a sprint Starting this 2Q, I had the chance to reflect on the months that just went by, from which I take with me 3 learnings as a leader 1. Giving ontime and direct feedback with clear an concise communication, more than a responsability, is a GIFT to your colaborators. Creating a culture resilient towards feedback is a must, reminding them not take things personally and understanding that different team members respond different to feedback. It definetely requires you to be conscious, cautious and assertive when giving it. 2. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. We need to learn how to develop “EXECUTIVE STAMINA” for ourselves in order to permeate it towards the whole team. And just as any other race, it requieres you to push when there is a high hill up front, positive self talk and measured breathing to stop and go when needed 3. And last but not least: Gratitude. I am absolutely grateful to see that I work with caring human beings that take the time to ask their own leader genuinely “ How are you boss? Count with me, we are gonna make this happen”! And so, after taking a look back, we prepare ourselves for this new quarter and we say again On your marks, get set and go!

At Merz Aesthetics, we’ve always believed in asking, "What do people need?" and truly listening. This guiding principle has been with us since our foundation, 116 years ago, and it drives everything we do. We partnered with Grupo Consumoteca to dive deep into understanding how people in Latin America view their bodies and aesthetic medicine. The findings were fascinating—did you know that one in four people say the pandemic changed how they see beauty? To get even closer to the real experiences of patients, we invited the amazing Merz Aesthetics Latam ambassadors to our Merz Aesthetics Expert Summit LATAM: - Claudia Raia and Sheron Menezzes from Brazil   - Karina Campos from Costa Rica - Laura Tobón from Colombia - Zaira Nara from Argentina Both Merz Aesthetics and our doctor partners are united by a common purpose: using science-backed solutions to fuel confidence and help people live better. Having these incredible women on stage helped us explore how aesthetic treatments impact lives, guiding us towards more innovation and better products. I would like to thank the ambassadors for their presence and insights, and the medical community that attended the event. Let’s keep pushing the boundaries in aesthetic medicine and making a positive difference together! #MerzAesthetics #MerzAestheticsLATAM #ConfidenceToBe #MEXS2024 #BeU

Safety and communication to improve the patient journey is a fundamental strategy for healthcare professionals and pharmaceutical companies. An inclusive E-labeling, with relevant, easy-to-understand information and other benefits will be a topic of discussion in the Traceability and E-labeling in Brazil Lecture and I am very proud to talk about this with my partner Juliana Ono. #elabeling #regulatory #counterfeit
