60 seconds with… James Hiscock, Global Head of Supply Chain Planning & Execution, Vifor Pharma

From current goals and rethinking supply chain design to working around global sourcing constraints, read on to discover what James Hiscock, Global Head of Supply Chain Planning & Execution, Vifor Pharma, makes of our questions ahead of his turn as a speaker at LogiPharma 2022.

Following two years of upheaval due to Covid-19, which are the biggest goals for you in your role currently?

The biggest goals in my role currently are rethinking supply chain design and sourcing for key products, to build higher resilience and increase supply security.

What is your primary challenge in building the supply chain of the future?

The primary challenge is definitely component availability, global sourcing constraints, and rising manufacturing costs.

What are you most looking forward to at LogiPharma 2022?

I’m really looking forward to hearing from like-minded peers facing similar challenges. If you attend LogiPharma this April, you can hear James take part as a panelist in the following session:
