Annick Whyte — Vibe coding is the skill no one told you to learn!

Hiring people who are better than you isn’t just good leadership — it’s the point. In this Season 2 opener of Leadership Lab, Maurice sits down with Annick Whyte, Commercial Delivery and Adoption Lead, to unpack what leadership looks like when the pace is fast, the stakes are high, and AI is changing the rules.

Annick shares why the real unlock isn’t “better prompts” — it’s vibe coding: building small, fast apps and workflows that prove value quickly, then bringing the business along for the ride.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why the best leaders hire people who are better than them (and how to stay secure while doing it)

• What “delivery and adoption” actually looks like day-to-day

• AI in pharma: where it’s already accelerating work (and where it still gets stuck)

• “AI wars”: OpenAI vs Gemini vs Copilot — what shows up when you compare outputs

• Moving from commercial to R&D, and why AI drug discovery is the next frontier

• Resilience as a leadership advantage (inner compass, clarity, and doing the work)
