British business leader, CEO of GSK (2017-2025); non-exec director at Microsoft
GSK has struck a multi-billion deal to acquire Nuvalent, adding three late-stage cancer drugs to its portfolio, including two lung-cancer therapies under FDA review. The acquisition aims to boost sales growth, expand the lung-cancer platform, and position GSK for a potential rise in annual revenue by 2031.
GSK has announced a 1.9 billion cost-cutting programme and a shift of more than 1,000 scientists to a new Cambridge R&D campus from Stevenage by 2029, part of broader plans to cut costs and expand late-stage trials.
