ABOUT IAIN GRAHAM

I am honoured to serve as General Manager of Novo Nordisk Canada, leading an exceptional team united by a powerful purpose: driving change to defeat serious chronic diseases.With over 25 years in the pharmaceutical industry and nearly two decades at Novo Nordisk, I\'ve had the privilege of contributing to our mission from multiple vantage points—from product management and sales leadership to global marketing and commercial strategy. Each role has deepened my commitment to ensuring that Canadians living with diabetes, obesity, and other serious chronic conditions have access to life-changing innovations.At Novo Nordisk, we are more than a pharmaceutical company. We are pioneers in diabetes care with over 100 years of heritage, and today we\'re leading transformative change across multiple therapy areas including obesity, cardiovascular disease, and rare blood disorders.Globally, we reached 45.2 million people with diabetes and obesity care in 2024, including 8.4 million vulnerable patients through our access and affordability initiatives. In Canada, we\'re building on this legacy—strengthening our leadership position while ensuring health equity remains at the heart of our work. This includes partnerships with organizations like ParticipACTION, University of Toronto, and McGill University Health Centre. Since joining Novo Nordisk Canada in 2006 as a Diabetes Product Manager, I\'ve been fortunate to grow alongside this organization. This has included establishing a foundation in brand development and market strategy; building high-performing teams and deepening customer relationships as a Sales Leader; strengthening our diabetes portfolio presence; contributing to worldwide brand growth and strategic alignment while working in Copenhagen; joining the Canadian executive team and earning recognition as Global Marketer of the Year; securing Canada\'s future pipeline and supply readiness. My leadership is guided by the Novo Nordisk Way—our core values of openness, accountability, and respect. I believe in patient-centered strategy, building exceptional teams, long-term thinking, and innovation with purpose. As General Manager, my priorities are clear: ensuring Novo Nordisk Canada continues to meet customers where they are, delivering new innovations to Canadians living with chronic disease and information in new and unique ways. We face complex challenges, but I\'m confident in our ability to drive meaningful change because of our talented team, proven innovation track record, and unwavering commitment to the patients who depend on us.
