Alix joined Immedica earlier this year. Here, she reflects on her first months in the role and shares a look into her everyday work experience.
How has your first year shaped your day‑to‑day?
“Great! It’s my first experience working with a smaller, entrepreneurial company. There’s less hierarchy, quicker decision‑making, and much more collaboration. I’ve learned so much; it’s been intense but very fun. I really appreciate how open, honest, and transparent the culture is; it truly makes everything more effective and empowering. I feel closer to both my coworkers and customers, which creates stronger engagement. At Immedica, there is an empowered way of working.”
What does a typical day look like for you?
“There’s no typical day! That’s what I love about this role and Immedica — every day brings new opportunities and challenges. What remains constant is meeting customers and working to improve patients’ lives. It’s about being agile, flexible, and embracing change while staying effective in everything we do.”
How do you set priorities at the start of your day?
“For me, it starts with opening doors and keeping conversations alive. Every day is about creating opportunities and building trust through transparency and consistency. It’s about being empowered to act, staying agile, and making every interaction effective. I remind myself that every call, every meeting, and every connection can make a real difference for patients , that’s what keeps me motivated.”
What makes your day most rewarding?
“Seeing the change, from start to finish, and knowing that every step brings us closer to better outcomes for patients. Hearing their stories is incredibly powerful; it reminds me why we do what we do. Every conversation, every decision ultimately impacts someone’s life, and that’s what makes it all worthwhile.”
How do you unwind after a busy day?
“I love cooking for my children and friends; it’s my way to relax and recharge. My favorite dish? A great carbonara! The secret is lots of guanciale, plenty of Parmigiano and Pecorino, and of course eggs. But remember, no cream! And don’t forget the most important part: really good pasta. Cook with heart, eat with family and friends , that’s the perfect ending to any day.”
Think of a day you spent with colleagues that made you feel truly part of the Immedica family
“The conference in Stockholm was a real highlight. Meeting everyone, sharing knowledge, looking ahead, and feeling the family spirit. The conference wasn’t just about updates; it was about creating alignment, fostering inclusiveness, and connecting us all to our shared mission. I now truly understand why Immedica has such a strong reputation for its culture , I’ve experienced it firsthand.”
What advice would you give to someone dreaming of one day being in this role?
“Be open‑minded and flexible. You need to enjoy being independent and ready to take the driver’s seat, not just be a passenger. In this role, you’re not just following a map — you’re helping draw it, with patients at the heart of every step!”
