Isabel Mestres: I am very proud of the organizational culture we are building together with the C/Can team

Isabel Mestres, CEO at City Cancer Challenge Foundation, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“When City Cancer Challenge was established as an independent foundation in 2019, we had a very clear idea what we did not want to be as an organisation:

Inflexible processes.
Rigid structures and reporting lines.
Regional delineation.
Governance bodies and top-down decision making.
Siloed experiences.What we did want to be:

What we did want to be:

Motivated individuals with an agile mindset.
Supportive team with diverse expertise.
Sharing and results oriented culture.
Willing to take risks and improvise.

Rapid learnings and fast decision cycles. I am very proud of the organizational culture we are building together with the C/Can team, committed to delivering local impact based on transparency, collaboration, co-creation and entrepreneurship. Thank you to ALL our funders and partners who are supporting this journey with in-kind and financial support. Special thank you to Roche Amgen, Siemens Healthineers and Takeda for their multi-year commitments.”
