Klein, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of&nbsp;PTC Therapeutics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"core-block core-paragraph\">This past May, the company celebrated the third cohort of Emerging Leaders at a graduation ceremony at PTC\u2019s U.S. headquarters in New Jersey. We checked in with graduates from all three cohorts to learn more about their ELP experience, their biggest takeaways, and how the program prepared them for future leadership roles. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"core-block core-paragraph\">\u201cMy biggest takeaway from the ELP was that you can be the leader you want, but being a leader is a choice and it needs a huge effort,\u201d says Paolo Signorotto, Country Head \u2013 Italy. \u201cWithout consistency, discipline, and deeply taking care of the others, it will never happen. That&#8217;s why you need to start from leading yourself before thinking of leading others.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"core-block core-paragraph\">A popular aspect of the program among all participants was hearing first-hand stories and experiences from other PTC leaders, like how they approached and overcame challenges, which many felt were inspiring and motivating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"core-block core-paragraph\">\u201cI loved learning about each function and the personal journey of senior leadership,\u201d says Malisa Rust, Patient Engagement Liaison. \u201cThrough these interactions, I was able to feel more comfortable having candid conversations.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"core-block core-paragraph\">Jianwei Zhao, Associate Director, DMPK, agrees. \u201cThroughout the program, listening to the senior leaders share their background, experience and leadership journey was inspiring and informative.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"core-block core-paragraph\">Being part of group activities helped participants network as well as collaborate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"core-block core-paragraph\">Nermina Weber, Associate Director, Corporate Communications, greatly enjoyed this program element. \u201cGetting to know team members, exchanging perspectives and learning in a collaborative setting was really enjoyable and fun,\u201d says Nermina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"core-block core-paragraph\">The program also helped prepare the participants for future leadership roles by teaching them about what it means to be a leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"core-block core-paragraph\">\u201cAfter the ELP, I understood that leadership is a skill \u2018in progress\u2019 and I believe that the program was a turning point to my development as a leader,\u201d says Andressa Federhen, Senior Director, Medical Affairs \u2013 Brazil. \u201cI am actively using the learnings from the program, and I feel more empowered to lead people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"core-block core-paragraph\">\u201cParticipating in the Emerging Leaders program provided me great insights, know-how and experiences from successful leaders in our company from which I am able to sharpen my leadership skills and use as valuable resource for future leadership positions,\u201d said Nermina. \u201cI&#8217;m honored to have been selected to participate in this important program at PTC, and proud of my fellow team members.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-lightbox\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"766\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"15931\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ptcbio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/08\/emerging-leaders-article-3-Andressa-766x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Andressa Federhen -
