About David Kamenir

Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to have been part of teams that help ensure essential and transformative innovations make their way to patients amidst a dynamic and evolving healthcare ecosystem.One of the most important skills I have honed over the years is being able to navigate through complexity and uncertainty and connect the not-so-obvious dots in a way that helps organizations see what is possible. My 20-year-plus track record at Novo Nordisk of driving company strategy and operations has led to a diversified portfolio, the launch of blockbuster brands, and enterprise transformation. A big theme throughout my career has been building teams that can develop and translate strategic priorities and initiatives into business results. As head of Enterprise Strategy, I helped lead Novo Nordisk’s shift from its historic success in insulin toward a GLP1a-based portfolio in established and emerging therapy areas, setting the stage for Ozempic® and Wegovy® success and unprecedented growth for Novo Nordisk North America. Operational leadership is also a fundamental part of my role, having created a Global Service Center offshoring program with significant P&L impact, and having overseen the integration of multiple acquisitions, including Dicerna and Forma Therapeutics.Overall, I am most passionate about enterprise leadership, operating in the best interests of the organization as a whole. Within Novo Nordisk, we developed a galvanizing North Star that drove a culture of innovation and results that ultimately doubled the number of patients we served in just under two years. Building high performing direct and indirect teams through the enterprise mindset lens has helped break down silos and drive a ‘one team’ culture of success.
