“I have had the privilege of working with Leena for almost ten years at Sanofi, and in that time she has consistently demonstrated an ability to achieve excellence more so than any individual I've worked with across every project and assignment she has been a part of. Above all else, Leena has an amazing work ethic, commitment to our company, and an unmatched dedication to success. She has a highly advanced level of functional and technical knowledge across many of our key functions including Order Management, Supply Chain Management / Logistics and Financial Management. Unlike any individual I've worked with at Sanofi, she combines this deep subject matter expertise with proven program and project management skills which have helped her to lead multiple major initiatives over her career at Sanofi. She is consistently seen as the "go-to" leader for our most critical initiatives over the years, including the integration of Genzyme into our Pharma business, the integration of our consumer products division into Canada, implementation of a direct selling model into our Pharma business, and the design & launch of our centralized warehouse management system across all our businesses. These initiatives were among our highest priorities over the past several years, helping to enable a significant portion of the growth and harmonization Sanofi has been able to achieve. Leena approaches every challenge with an open mindset and intense desire to succeed. She’s an insightful, dedicated professional with adept business acumen and collaboration skills. Above all else, her “get it done” attitude has always made her a pleasure to be around and the first person I look to whenever the most challenging projects need to be delivered. I consider her one of my most trusted colleagues and friends!”
