ABOUT STEWART SEAR

I am responsible for defining and governing the experience standards and design systems that underpin AstraZeneca’s global digital and web ecosystem. My work focuses on building scalable, consistent, and compliant digital experiences across regions, brands, and business units. I lead the evolution of enterprise design systems and experience frameworks — including design principles, component standards, token architecture, and governance models — enabling teams across the organisation to deliver high-quality experiences while maintaining global consistency. I operate at the intersection of design, product, and engineering, working closely with senior stakeholders across Digital, Product, Technology, and Medical to align experience strategy with platform capabilities, regulatory requirements, and long-term roadmap goals. A key part of my role is ensuring strong alignment between design and engineering, particularly across platforms such as Figma and AEM, so that experience intent is preserved from concept through to implementation. Currently, I lead the experience strategy and design system that support OneAZ, AstraZeneca’s global digital engagement platform. My focus is on creating an experience foundation that is global by default, locally adaptable, and operationally sustainable as it scales across markets including EUCAN, the US, Japan, and Medical.
