My Take
Pascal Soriot fascinates me precisely because he started as a veterinarian. There's something poetic about a man who began tending animals ending up steering AstraZeneca, one of the world's most consequential pharmaceutical giants. During the pandemic his company was rarely out of the headlines, and he was the one holding the wheel through that storm. The French-born, HEC-trained executive embodies a career built on substance rather than spectacle. I'm always more impressed by leaders who climbed through unglamorous, hands-on experience than by those handed the top job, and Soriot's trajectory is a genuinely improbable, admirable one.
