Leadership & Management

Varian’s senior leader talks transformation, superheroes and leading with purpose

Health Industry Hub | June 16, 2021 |

Leadership & Management: Welcome to Health Industry Hub’s Women in Leadership Series – connecting, engaging and empowering women in the Pharma, MedTech and Biotech sectors by celebrating and sharing the journey of inspirational and passionate women leaders in the industry.

In an interview with Health Industry Hub, Rebecca Cortiula, Senior Managing Director Australasia, Varian Medical Systems, shares her inspirational leadership journey.

In this episode, we dive into what is getting in the way of women being more equally represented at senior leadership positions, despite the compelling evidence that a more balanced representation produces better financial results for the organisation.

Rebecca also discusses whether we need to become ‘superwomen’ to get to the top, and how women can lead with purpose and become a catalyst for meaningful change in the complex and busy work + life.

“Continue to learn every day. Continue to look for opportunities to take on challenges and to get involved, especially in diversity and inclusion projects that your business has going. You’re bound to connect with fabulous talent within your own business, you’re likely to grow and come across some surprising information along the way,” said Ms Cortiula.
