Raphael Neves Batista is Regional Marketing Communications Manager at Getinge, São Paulo, Brazil:

“My sincere gratitude to the Carl Silfvén Foundation is not enough to express how thrilled I am to be awarded with this game changer scholarship, thanks for the trust.

I must confess I wasn´t expecting to be the recipient of the SSE Carl Silfvén Scholarship 2021 Autumn when I first applied due the highly qualified applicants from all around the world, but I believe that the sum of my professional profile, with my full commitment along the process created the perfect match between the SSE MBA and I.

I am a person driven by challenges and there is no other time, for our generation, so challenging as 2020/2021, all the doubts and concerns raised by COVID-19 worldwide leveraged my will to learn more about how to enable more collaborative and sustainable solutions on a global scale. This high level experience will provide me the depth of knowledge I need in many areas for me to develop professionally and personally, so I can contribute even further to our industry, our society and consequently to the world.

I also would like to say thanks to Jeanette Hedén-Carlsson, the Marketing Communications & Academy EVP of Getinge and Marcio Mazon our Regional President that have been very supportive all along the way in this process. Together we can build a better future for healthcare worldwide and take the Swedish sustainable and innovative philosophy to many other countries.”
