Stephen Lutsch
Senior Director Clinical Trial Digital Innovation, Genmab

In my position as Senior Director - Clinical Trial Digital Innovation at Genmab, I lead a team driving AI adoption within clinical operations, decentralized clinical trials and digital innovation in drug development. Previously, I have been working to bring the best disruptive innovation into normal clinical operations at LEO Pharma to help improve and accelerate their clinical trials. Furthermore, I am trying to solve some of the toughest challenges related to scaling digitalization, data, and automation to generate competitive advantages across business units. One aspect is driving the necessary foundational components around a scalable GxP data platform, machine learning opportunities as well as automating digital processes with robotics process automation. Besides leading the necessary change internally, focus is on a design-thinking approach where we put the patient and site at the center. I have an ambition towards “delighting” patients, investigators, and sponsors by solving the real-world challenges they face by leveraging both qualitative interviews and observation, as well as quantitative methods to reveal actionable insights
