Background

About Sofia Teixeira

I am someone who believes that purpose should be at the heart of everything we do. Working in the pharmaceutical industry has taught me that even when we are not on the front line, our work can change lives. Behind every product strategy, every training session, every stakeholder alignment, there is a patient, a family, a story. That is what motivates me. As Product Manager at Bial, I lead the cardiorenal-metabolic (CVRM) portfolio, having previously worked in the respiratory, dyslipidaemia and heart failure areas. My role combines strategic planning, product lifecycle management and scientific positioning, together with impactful initiatives in healthcare professional engagement and medical education. But beyond strategy, what really motivates me is working in a multifunctional way, bringing people together — from marketing and the medical field to logistics and sales — to create aligned, goal-oriented actions. I deeply believe in the power of leadership without a title: helping others grow, inspiring collaboration, and creating spaces where teams feel empowered to contribute in meaningful ways. What keeps me motivated is not just KPIs or product milestones (although those are important). It is knowing that our work — when done with heart and intention — can lead to earlier diagnoses, better conversations between healthcare professionals and patients, and ultimately, a better quality of life for thousands of people.
