Page Executive hosted an exclusive roundtable at the Barcelona & Madrid Health Hub, bringing together senior leaders from the pharmaceutical and life sciences sectors with active operations across Spain and Italy. The session provided a unique platform for international dialogue, strategic reflection and collaborative learning between two highly complementary markets.
Moderated by Andrea Sileo, Senior Partner at Page Executive Spain, the debate explored real-world experiences in internationalization, cross-border investment, and leadership development, all critical elements influencing the growth trajectory of Healthcare & Life Sciences organisations operating in both countries.
We were honoured to welcome an exceptional panel of leaders who shared valuable insights drawn from their operational and strategic experience:
- Marta Barbáchano Sánchez – Zambon
- Giuseppe Chiericatti – Chiesi España & Portugal
- Esther Mosquera Gómez, PhD, MBA – FAES FARMA
- Olga Insua – Ferrer
Our roundtable also benefited from an institutional opening delivered by Luca Fava, Consul General of Italy in Barcelona, in collaboration with the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Barcelona (CCIB), reinforcing the importance of bilateral cooperation and shared economic priorities between Spain and Italy.
Throughout the discussion, participants exchanged perspectives on:
- Expanding operations across both markets
- Managing cultural and organisational nuances in cross-border teams
- Strengthening investor and stakeholder confidence
- Accelerating talent development in highly specialised sectors
- Building sustainable and globally competitive healthcare organisations
A heartfelt thank you to all attendees for enriching the conversation with their experience, strategic thinking and openness to dialogue. Your contributions helped shape a morning of meaningful networking and cross-border insight sharing.
