Argenx's Emily Simasek talks about teamwork, embracing
the unexpected, and her early aspirations to become a pop star.
I've had the opportunity to connect with and learn from executives of major brands at MediaPost's Insider Summits. In
the process I've discovered some truly impressive women -- not only for the work they do, but their stories behind the scenes. With Brand Insider: BTS, I get to pull back the curtain on
some of the most influential women marketers as they talk about their path to success: the twists and turns, obstacles, inspirations and the valuable lessons learned along the way.
Emily Simasek has always cared deeply about helping people, but it wasn’t until she found her authentic voice that she realized the impact she could truly make. Having spent five
transformative years at Neurocrine Biosciences, she evolved from a self-described people pleaser into a leader driven by clarity, confidence, and purpose. Now, as Director of HCP Marketing at Argenx,
Emily brings that same purpose-driven approach to everything she does. In this episode of Brand Insider: BTS, Emily shares with Lisa Singer how growing up with her sister shaped her passion for
advocating for those who are often overlooked, and why knowing your worth—and hiring around your weaknesses—may be one of the best pieces of advice she ever received. She also talks about
her love of national parks, her favorite reality TV escape, and the unforgettable moment that left her sitting on the floor eating pizza in the dark…and it was actually a good thing! You can
watch the entire conversation above.
