"...Who Are The Seekers?
Magalie Rocheville and Lee Shorter, Disruptive Innovation Seekers, are two people selected by John Baldoni to develop GSK’s Platform Technology and Science (PTS) Seeker program. Rocheville, based in the United Kingdom, has been with GSK for over 10 years with experience in leading several innovation opportunities as well as drug discovery programs for PTS. She has a Ph.D. in pharmacology and belonged to the department of Assay Development within PTS. Shorter, a 26-year GSK veteran based in the United States, has a Ph.D. in chemistry and experience in pharma and consumer healthcare product development, as well as open innovation. The diversity of their backgrounds is part of the beauty of the Seeker program. Rocheville comes from the early drug discovery phase and a biology perspective, while Shorter comes from late phase product development, bringing a chemistry perspective. Combined, they span the continuum of line functions that make up PTS, which allows them to ask each other the naïve questions and thus brainstorm an idea from an open-minded point-of-view. Both admit that taking the position of Seeker has been exciting, fun, and thus far “a dream job.”
