“The most powerful inspiration comes from within, and for
people to realize it, they need an environment where they feel they can thrive
and be their authentic selves,” says Alisha Alaimo, President of Biogen, US
Organization.
Since 2017, Alisha has led Biogen’s US Organization, where she is responsible for driving growth and developing people.
