It's not often you meet someone whose impact transcends both their professional and personal life. David Novak is one of those rare individuals. Yesterday, he was awarded a lifetime achievement award, The Hank Moes Award by the ISPE Boston Area Chapter. As the founder of the ISPE International Emerging Leaders Committee and active member for more than 18 years, Dave’s career has spanned decades, leaving an indelible mark on the life sciences industry and the next generation of leaders. His leadership has helped shape groundbreaking solutions for delivering life-saving treatments to patients across the globe. But more importantly, Dave reminded us that the most important moments happen beyond the workplace. In 2020, Dave’s wife was diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer. For the next three years, their family navigated the unimaginable, cherishing every moment until her passing in 2023. Standing before a room full of colleagues, Dave shared not just the story of his career, but the story of his heart—his wife’s battle, their love, and the moments they held onto, even in the face of loss. Dave’s message wasn’t just about the importance of the work we do in bringing therapies to patients; it was a poignant reminder to treasure the people closest to us. Thank you, Dave, for your decades of leadership, your courage, and your wisdom. Congratulations from all of us on this well-deserved honor!

Introducing our European early career professionals as they officially begin their IPS journey as part of our Graduate Programme! Their first stop? A visit to the FOYA award-winning WuXi Biologics facility in Dundalk, Ireland. It was an amazing opportunity for our graduates to see firsthand how IPS projects make a real-world impact—both in Europe and across the globe. Following the educational experience, our graduates also had the chance to explore a different kind of iconic Irish landmark—the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin. We can’t wait to see our graduates thrive as they explore their potential and build their careers at IPS. The future looks bright! #IAmIPS #CareerDevelopment #EarlyCareer
