About Guy Hadari
In a February 2023 podcast, Guy Hadari, Global CIO at Biogen, discussed his views on transformation in the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors. He argued that many initiatives labeled "transformation" are actually "transposition," which he described as moving a physical process into a virtual one. Hadari stated that he does not believe digital technology will fundamentally disrupt the industry in the foreseeable future. He also commented on the role of a CIO, saying that for a leader of a large organization, the job is "technology is 20% and 80% is management." Hadari described Biogen as a company that addresses difficult areas in neuroscience. He reflected on his career, noting that nothing worked out as planned and that he views this as a positive, as it led him to his current position. He also advised his younger self to take care of both physical and mental health, acknowledging the demanding nature of a CIO role.
