Modeled after the prestigious HBA awards, the Syneos Health Rising Star and Luminary Awards program has honored more than 60 women worldwide, providing expanded career visibility opportunities and peer-to-peer networking. This year, the program grew to include a Syneos Health Mentor of the Year Award, which honored Mike Menta, President, Syneos Health Consulting, for his dedication to supporting an inclusive work culture. To further expand the discussion around the importance of women’s leadership in the life sciences industry, the Syneos Health office in London is hosting a live feed of the WOTY luncheon, followed by a panel discussion focused on the power of innovation and creativity in the biopharmaceutical sector.
