In Good Company with Nicolai Tangen

How do you build a company that reaches 1.5 billion people? Nicolai Tangen sits down with Fabricio Bloisi, CEO of Prosus, to trace an extraordinary journey from humble beginnings to running one of the world's most ambitious tech ecosystems. Prosus is the company behind well-known consumer brands like iFood in Brazil, Swiggy in India, Just Eat across Europe, and PayU powering payments in emerging markets. They discuss Fabricio's "jet ski" model for fast-paced innovation, the bold transformation of Just Eat into an AI-first company, and why he believes AI is still underhyped. Fabricio also shares his deeply entrepreneurial leadership philosophy: hire people better than yourself, empower them radically, and never stop questioning the status quo. With over 40,000 employees and businesses spanning food delivery, fintech, and lifestyle services across Latin America, India, and Europe, Prosus is dreaming at a scale few companies dare to imagine.

Nicolai Tangen meets Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla for a wide-ranging conversation on leadership, science, and the future of global healthcare. Bourla reflects on leading Pfizer through the COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough and how it transformed the company. The discussion also dives into Pfizer’s strategic shift toward innovative medicine, including major investments in oncology and obesity, and the high-stakes decisions behind multibillion-dollar acquisitions.
Looking ahead, the conversation explores how artificial intelligence is set to transform drug discovery, clinical trials, and the broader healthcare system. Bourla offers a candid view on global competition, particularly the rapid rise of China in biotech, and what it will take for companies like Pfizer to stay ahead. Beyond business, Bourla opens up about leadership, how to build resilience, foster organizational confidence, and continuously evolve as a CEO. He also shares a deeply personal story about his mother, a Holocaust survivor, and how her perspective shaped his optimism and drive.
