Mike Rea

Chief Executive Officer, IDEA Pharma

“I’m leading the development of a code of ethics for the industry. I wholly believe that we have to do the right things, and do them transparently, and with full input from other stakeholders. It took me a long time to realize just how cool this industry can be – we need to become more attractive to people leaving university in order to compete with tech and finance. I wish I’d realized earlier in my career that pharma is an industry looking for people to change it!”
