  10. Evolution from Rep to Regional Visionary understanding of operational details and strengthened his appreciation for the efforts of his team. Shoji began his career in 1994 as a sales representative in the Pharmaceutical Division of Kirin. He later moved into the Marketing Department, where he served as a Product Manager. After earning his MBA in New York, he joined Janssen Pharmaceuticals. There, he played a pivotal role in developing and expanding the oncology business, especially in hematologic malignancies. His responsibilities gradually grew to include new therapeutic areas, hepatitis C, new product planning, and the integration of Actelion into Janssen Japan. His time in Singapore also gave him valuable insight into leading without formal authority. By collaborating with multiple country organizations as a facilitator rather than a top-down leader, Shoji honed his ability to influence and drive results through collaboration. Overall, his career journey has given him a well-rounded leadership style built on personal growth and leveraging diverse strengths. D Strategic Lens on Therapeutic Leadership espite extraordinary advances in medicine, certain voices remain faint in the corridors of care. Among them are individuals living with rare diseases, patients whose conditions are so uncommon they often fall outside the reach of conventional treatment models. These are not just medical outliers; they are children, parents, and communities waiting for answers that rarely come. Their conditions may be few in number, but their need for treatment is no less critical. Traditional healthcare systems, built to serve the many, often struggle to accommodate the few. And in that silence, the need for focused, purposeful intervention becomes not just important, but essential. At Janssen, Shoji also took on the role of Asia-Pacific Regional Lead for Oncology and Hematology, based in Singapore. Following that, he joined Incyte and spent four years building the foundation for the commercial team to support the launch of a biliary tract cancer product in Japan. Shoji's leadership across oncology, hematology, and infectious diseases in both Japan and the Asia-Pacific region has shaped a practical and principle- driven view of leadership. When it comes to business models, he notes that the fundamental approach does not drastically change across therapeutic areas. Whether the focus is hematology, infectious disease, or rare diseases, success typically hinges on three core elements—targeting the right audience, delivering the right message, and maintaining strong communication with healthcare professionals. Throughout his career, Shoji gained a wide range of experiences that shaped him as both a technical expert and a leader. As a marketer, he learned to simplify complex messages for sales teams and to use logic effectively. His career also taught him how to handle uncertainty and build new business operations from scratch. These challenges strengthened his flexibility, helped him avoid perfectionism, and inspired him to challenge the status quo. He also observes that pricing strategies tend to follow common methodologies, such as comparator-based or cost- based calculations, particularly in Japan. While access frameworks and reimbursement systems can vary between countries, the overarching business logic remains consistent. Shoji Kuroyama has made it his mission to close that gap. From his early days as a sales representative to his current role as President of Recordati Japan, Shoji has redefined what it means to lead with precision and purpose. His journey has spanned continents, therapeutic areas, and business functions, but the throughline is clear, a commitment to bringing critical therapies to those most often left behind. At Incyte Japan, Shoji worked in a lean structure that required hands-on involvement across various functions. He personally led initiatives such as press releases, media seminars, and pricing negotiations with the Ministry of Health. This exposure deepened his In drug development, rare diseases may involve slightly different strategies. For example, in ultra-rare conditions, a smaller data set—perhaps www.worldcaremagazine.com www.worldcaremagazine.com 08 09

In all these ways, Shoji is ensuring that the philosophy of "Focused on the Few" is more than just a slogan, it's a guiding principle embedded in the team's daily operations. Drawing from his extensive experience across diverse therapeutic areas, Shoji feels confident leading in the rare disease space. At its core, he believes that a solid, fundamentals-based business model remains effective regardless of the therapeutic category. Building a Strong Foundation for Rare Disease Leadership In his first year as President, Shoji's immediate strategic priorities center on maximizing the value of Recordati's current pipeline in the Endocrinology/Metabolic and Hematology/Oncology business units. At the same time, the company is focused on acquiring rights to new compounds that can both offset potential drug loss and meet high unmet medical needs in the rare disease space. Bringing "Focused on the Few" to Life Shoji is deeply committed to turning Recordati's philosophy of "Focused on the Few" into practical and meaningful actions. First, the Japan team ensures appropriate product use by providing accurate, timely information to healthcare professionals through webinars and in-person interactions. This supports patients with rare diseases by equipping clinicians with the knowledge they need. To achieve these goals, Shoji emphasizes the importance of enhancing Recordati's presence and becoming the partner of choice for patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals, partner companies, and employees. A key enabler of this vision is talent, specifically, attracting and retaining top talent within the organization. Shoji believes the company is on the right trajectory, building a workplace culture that supports both innovation and collaboration. Second, the team's licensing-in strategy emphasizes innovative products in the rare disease space. This helps mitigate the risk of drug unavailability in Japan, ensuring patients have continued access to essential treatments. Third also refers to the team itself. Compared to other mid-sized companies, Recordati Japan is a lean organization. This creates a unique opportunity to foster inclusivity and responsiveness. Shoji and his team actively listen to employee feedback and build a workplace where voices are heard and valued.

  14. therapies can reach patients in Japan more quickly and effectively. can, in itself, increase awareness and shift societal and clinical perceptions — helping to foster earlier diagnosis and stronger support systems around patients. Education, Innovation, and Early Detection A Personal Commitment to Patient- Centricity Shoji believes that one of the most urgent challenges in rare disease care is the long and often arduous journey patients face before receiving a diagnosis and treatment. To address this, he emphasizes the importance of improving disease awareness, particularly around the burden of rare diseases and the critical role early diagnosis plays in patient outcomes. Recordati Japan remains committed to advancing medical education programs as a key tool in supporting this objective. For Shoji, patient centricity is not a slogan, it is a deeply personal conviction shaped by pivotal moments in his career. Early on, he admits he lacked a full understanding of what it truly meant to be patient-centric. But while working at Janssen as a product manager for a targeted therapy for multiple myeloma, he witnessed firsthand how a breakthrough drug could dramatically improve not only prognosis but also a patient's quality of life. Orphan Drug designation from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. These designations typically offer protection from NHI price reductions and generic competition, making the market attractive for pharmaceutical companies. However, Shoji also underscores that the company's highest priority is bringing new, innovative therapies to the Japanese market. He believes that the presence of effective treatments However, he points out a growing concern: drugs targeting ultra-rare diseases, with very small peak sales potential, often fail to attract sufficient interest from industry players. This poses a risk of drug loss and access challenges for patients. That experience became a turning point. Since then, Shoji has been unwavering in his mission to deliver In response to these concerns, regulatory bodies such as the PMDA have introduced progressive frameworks designed to ease market entry. One notable example is the conditional approval system, which allows marketing authorization based on Phase I/II data, provided that confirmatory studies, such as Phase III trials, are conducted post-launch. This system significantly lowers the entry barrier for small- and mid-sized biotech firms that may lack the funding or resources for large-scale trials upfront. My vision is to make Recordati the company people think of first when they talk about rare diseases in Japan, not just because of our products, but because of our purpose. Shoji sees this regulatory innovation as a critical enabler of growth in the rare disease sector. He hopes that such initiatives will continue to be developed, ensuring that innovative www.worldcaremagazine.com www.worldcaremagazine.com 012 013

At Recordati Japan, he actively embeds this principle into the company culture, including hosting "patient voice" sessions during company kick-off meetings to ensure that every employee, across both commercial and R&D teams, is reminded of the people they ultimately serve. engagement, he emphasizes, is a critical success factor that data alone cannot replace. Encouraging Voices in the Japanese Workforce Having worked in both Japan and Singapore across various therapeutic areas, he draws meaningful contrasts in leadership and communication styles. In his experience, Asia-Pacific employees are often proactive in career development and confident in sharing their strengths. In Japan, however, a culture of humility can sometimes limit individuals from seizing growth opportunities. Learning from his time abroad, he has made a conscious effort to adopt a more assertive and strategic approach to career and business growth, advocating for a mindset shift that encourages Japanese professionals to showcase their capabilities more openly. perspectives of KOLs on epidemiology, treatment algorithms, and unmet needs are invaluable for strategic planning and negotiations. Equally important, he believes, is maintaining a deep understanding of regulatory expectations and fostering timely, frequent engagement with the PMDA. These relationships are critical not only for streamlining drug filings but also for combating the growing issue of drug attrition in the Japanese market. A Story That Fuels Purpose Among the many patient and caregiver stories Shoji has encountered over the years, one in particular has left a lasting impact. Through a patient advocacy group, he learned about a family affected by hyperammonemia, a rare condition that can strike in early infancy. In this heartbreaking case, delayed diagnosis led to irreversible intellectual disabilities in a young child. Lessons in the Rearview The Drive Behind Recordati's Pipeline The story, Shoji says, was both shocking and deeply moving. It highlighted the devastating cost of late intervention and reinforced his resolve to drive awareness and access in Recordati's key therapeutic areas. For Shoji, preventing such tragedies is not just a professional goal — it is a personal mission that continues to guide his leadership every day. Reflecting on more than two decades in the pharmaceutical industry, he would advise his younger self to never stop working hard. Consistency, perseverance, and learning from failure, he believes, are the foundations for long-term success. He encourages trusting the process and believing in one's potential. He finds deep motivation in Recordati's current pipeline, which is centered on rare diseases. While patient numbers may differ by treatment in Japan, the consistent factor that excites him is the strong sense of purpose and contribution to patients' lives. For him, working in the rare disease space offers a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact where it matters most. What continues to inspire him today is the people around him, his team, and external stakeholders. He emphasizes that success is never a solo achievement; it's the result of shared commitment, collaboration, and a united drive to improve patients' lives. Blueprint for People-Centered Success KOLs and Regulators as Catalysts for Innovation He places deep value on emotional intelligence in leadership, especially in an industry driven by data, regulation, and science. For him, people are the true driving force behind success. He believes that how passionately employees connect with the organization's mission—improving patients' lives, is what ultimately propels a company forward. Emotional He envisions that key opinion leaders (KOLs) and Japan's Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) will play increasingly pivotal roles in accelerating innovation.

From predicting disease outbreaks to optimizing hospital resources, data has transformed from a tool of observation into a guide for action. At the heart of this transformation stands a new generation of leaders who are using predictive intelligence to make healthcare more proactive, personalized, and precise. Predictive healthcare leadership represents a powerful shift from managing what has happened to anticipating what will happen and acting before it does. models that continuously learn from new information. This capability allows healthcare professionals to move from a reactive model of care to a preventive one. Instead of waiting for patients to fall ill, predictive systems help doctors intervene early, saving lives and reducing costs. point where information is no longer confined to reports and records. It has Leaders at the Forefront of Intelligent Healthcare Predictive healthcare leadership is not about replacing human judgment with algorithms. It is about empowering leaders to make informed decisions based on intelligent insights. These leaders combine medical knowledge with data science, ethics, and strategy to guide their organizations toward efficiency and empathy. They understand that technology is most effective when paired with vision, responsibility, and human understanding. The Power of Prediction in Modern Medicine Predictive analytics uses historical and real-time data to forecast future outcomes. It draws from electronic health records, genomic data, wearable devices, and even social factors to identify patterns that reveal emerging risks. A patient's vital signs, lifestyle habits, and medical history can now be analyzed to predict conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, or stroke long before symptoms appear. Hospitals use these insights to allocate staff and resources efficiently, preventing delays in treatment and improving patient outcomes. Forward thinking hospital administrators are adopting predictive models to monitor patient flow, forecast demand for medical supplies, and identify potential bottlenecks. Clinical leaders are using AI powered analytics to detect disease progression patterns and personalize treatments. Public health officials are leveraging data to anticipate epidemics and deploy resources before crises escalate. Each of these actions demonstrates how leadership rooted in prediction transforms not only systems but entire communities.

They understand that technology is most effective when paired with vision, responsibility, and human understanding. The Power of Prediction in Modern Medicine Predictive analytics uses historical and real-time data to forecast future outcomes. It draws from electronic health records, genomic data, wearable devices, and even social factors to identify patterns that reveal emerging risks. A patient's vital signs, lifestyle habits, and medical history can now be analyzed to predict conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, or stroke long before symptoms appear. Hospitals use these insights to allocate staff and resources efficiently, preventing delays in treatment and improving patient outcomes. Forward thinking hospital administrators are adopting predictive models to monitor patient flow, forecast demand for medical supplies, and identify potential bottlenecks. Clinical leaders are using AI powered analytics to detect disease progression patterns and personalize treatments. Public health officials are leveraging data to anticipate epidemics and deploy resources before crises escalate. Each of these actions demonstrates how leadership rooted in prediction transforms not only systems but entire communities.

  26. From Information to Intelligence patients, professionals, and society. They will need to translate complex insights into clear strategies, bridging the gap between technology experts and clinical teams. Leadership in this field is as much about communication and collaboration as it is about computation. The difference between data and decision lies in interpretation. Predictive healthcare leadership bridges that gap by transforming raw information into actionable intelligence. It involves asking the right questions, defining relevant metrics, and ensuring that insights align with patient needs and ethical values. Conclusion: Shaping the Future of Healthcare Leadership For example, predictive models can highlight which patients are at high risk of readmission after discharge. Leaders can then implement follow up programs or community support systems to prevent unnecessary hospital visits. Similarly, analyzing data from wearable devices can help identify population wide health trends, guiding preventive campaigns and wellness initiatives. These strategies reduce the burden on healthcare systems while improving overall quality of care. The journey from data to decision is redefining healthcare. Predictive leadership transforms uncertainty into opportunity by giving organizations the foresight to act with purpose and precision. Hospitals can anticipate challenges before they arise, policymakers can plan more effectively, and doctors can treat patients before illnesses advance. Yet the most powerful aspect of predictive healthcare lies not in algorithms but in awareness. The awareness that data is only as meaningful as the intent behind its use. The future of healthcare leadership will depend on those who can unite technology with ethics, analytics with empathy, and prediction with human judgment. Ethics and Trust in the Predictive Age As data becomes more central to healthcare, issues of privacy, consent, and ethical responsibility take center stage. Predictive systems often rely on sensitive personal information, and misuse can undermine public trust. Responsible leaders ensure that patient confidentiality remains a top priority while maintaining transparency about how data is used. As the world moves deeper into the age of intelligent insight, leaders who harness prediction responsibly will shape a future where care is not just reactive but truly preventive. The evolution of healthcare will no longer be about responding to illness but nurturing wellness guided by data, driven by compassion, and led by vision. Ethical leadership also means questioning the limits of prediction. While algorithms can suggest probabilities, they cannot replace empathy or moral reasoning. Healthcare leaders must balance data-driven efficiency with human compassion, ensuring that technology serves humanity rather than the other way around. Predictive insights should guide decisions but never dictate them. Training the Next Generation of Predictive Leaders The rise of predictive healthcare calls for a new kind of leadership that is fluent in both science and empathy. Educational institutions are beginning to merge data analytics with healthcare management, preparing future leaders to interpret data responsibly and use it to inspire positive change. These emerging leaders must understand not only how predictive models work but also how they impact www.worldcaremagazine.com www.worldcaremagazine.com 024 025
