Peter Drivas is the North America Regional Supply Chain Director at Ipsen Biopharmaceuticals, where he leads strategic regional supply chain integration across the US and Canada, with a focus on planning, inventory management, and cross-functional supply chain coordination. He has over 13 years of experience across pharmaceutical, medtech, and consumer products supply chains, with a background in supply planning, S&OP/S&OE, inventory optimization, and operational transformation. Prior to joining Ipsen, Peter worked at Takeda Pharmaceuticals, where he led global planning and inventory optimizations initiatives, including work related to multi-echelon inventory optimization (MEIO) and integrated supply chain governance. Peter is particularly interested in improving execution visibility, strengthening cross-functional decision-making, and building practical operating models that better connect strategic planning with day-to-day execution.
Despite major investments in digital tools, advanced analytics, and redesigned operating models, many pharma organizations still struggle with the "last mile" of execution, ensuring reliable plans, timely decisions, and consistent operational performance across global networks. This panel brings together leaders in planning, operations, digital, and quality to discuss how they're closing the execution gap through better data integration, improved visibility, scenario-based planning, and redesigned cross-functional workflows.
Panelists will share what's working (and what's not) as they build more connected, agile organizations; how they're reducing firefighting; and how they're embedding new decision-making behaviors that strengthen service levels, reduce variability, and accelerate response times.
Strengthen planning and decision-making by harmonizing data, simplifying workflows, and integrating real-time signals
Improve operational stability by identifying and eliminating failure points that cause reactive firefighting
Enable faster, more confident decisions through clearer governance, stronger cross-functional collaboration, and predictive insights
