Question #1
Given the catastrophic compliance failure under her leadership at Amgen, how can we be confident in Torley’s ability to navigate the current high-stakes Merck litigation, balancing her deal-making instincts for a settlement against the need for a disciplined, potentially protracted legal fight?
Question #2
Since Torley’s defining success was a pragmatic pivot away from a failed strategic vision, to what extent will she prioritize disciplined operational execution and capital returns versus taking the significant strategic risks required for large-scale M&A to build the company’s next growth engine?
