About Paul Hudson

People are what drive me. I was drawn to healthcare so that I could positively impact people’s lives. I started my career as a pharmaceutical medical representative over 25 years ago.

I am now Chief Executive Officer of Sanofi, a global biopharmaceutical company dedicated to improving the lives of people worldwide by transforming scientific innovation into healthcare solutions.

As a leader, I firmly believe that making an impact starts within. By ‘within’, I mean inside the company at the culture level – it’s about how we do things, how we work with integrity, and how we empower and inspire each other to bring our best selves to work. I’m a passionate champion of diversity and inclusion because in my experience, nothing does more to unleash potential, fuel innovation and drive long-term success. It’s the right thing for people, and the right thing for business.

What do I love most about my job? That even on a tough day, I can be confident that our work has a positive impact on people – either by improving a patient’s life or by inspiring a colleague to advance science.
