Lilly Saudi Arabia’s Dimitri Livadas shares some of the misconceptions he had before moving to the Kingdom a couple of years ago, highlights the evolution of the Saudi healthcare system with its current focus on digital health, the big opportunities for the Indiana-based company’s diabetes portfolio at a moment when the world celebrates 100 years of the discovery of insulin, a peptide hormone first commercialized by Eli Lilly in 1923.
The talent in Saudi Arabia is absolutely world-class; they are highly educated and extremely hard-working. They have a high sense of purpose, and are very engaged. I expect and predict that soon the Lilly Saudi affiliate will become an exporter of talent to other Lilly affiliates around the world
