And before we jump into the discussion with Patricia and Tina, let me help you get to know our company a little bit more. GE Healthcare is a trusted partner and leading global health care solutions provider, innovating medical technology, pharmaceutical diagnostics, and integrated cloud first AI enabled solutions, services, and data analytics. We aim to make hospitals and health systems more efficient, clinicians more effective, therapies more precise, and patients healthier and happier. I think we can all relate to that. GE Healthcare is a 19,700,000,000.0 US dollar business with approximately 53,000 employees committed to making it easier for clinicians to give quality care and improve patient outcomes. If we flip over to the next page, what you'll see is that we have presence across more than a 160 countries around the world. So gHealthcare has a global footprint.

Our installed base includes over 5,000,000 pieces of equipment across our product segments. So what are those product segments? If we flip over to the next page, Tina. We develop, manufacture, and market a broad portfolio of products, services, and complementary digital solutions used in the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of patients. Our solutions are structured across four segments, imaging, advanced visualization solutions or AVS, patient care solutions or PCS as we call it, and pharmaceutical diagnostics, PDX. What's imaging?
GE Healthcare is a global leader in medical imaging with a comprehensive portfolio of scanning devices, clinical applications, service capabilities, and digital solutions. Our imaging portfolio spans the care continuum and provides critical tools for clinician for clinicians from initial screening and diagnosis through therapeutic decision making and monitoring of patient progression. Advanced visualization solutions. I have an expert here today in Patricia, but I'll jump in with a very high level view to say our AVS business is focused on designing solutions that are aligned by specialties or care areas for specific clinical workflows to better serve the unique needs of our customers and improve patient outcomes.
We continue to deliver innovative solutions to support interventional procedures, all with digital and AI enabled solutions that help clinician clinicians increase diagnostic confidence while simplifying clinical and operational workflows. GE Healthcare's PCS segment is a leading global provider of medical devices, proprietary parameters, and consumables, services, and digital solutions that acquire and transform complex clinical data into real time visualization and clinical decision support to ease the way to more confident patient care and improve patient outcomes.
Outcomes. These solutions form a broad and integrated portfolio that support patient care areas and care teams within and beyond the most acute health care environments. Last but not least, PDX. We're a leading supplier of contrast and radiopharmaceutical imaging agents to the global radiology and nuclear medicine industries. These agents help clinicians assess patients to enable more precise diagnosis, monitor disease progression, and enable better therapy selection. We distribute products globally that help meet patient and procedural needs across a multitude of modalities. But what we do is, is equally important to how we do it.

Thank you for, the opportunity today to share a little bit more about what we do and help you get a sense and feel of our company. I'll hand it over now to Tina and Patricia for, an interactive discussion.
You're on mute, Tina.
Alright. Okay.
It's better like that.
Oh, thank you. Thank you for handing over, Mania. And, welcome, everyone. My name is Tina Luca Shawush, and I'm leading the talent acquisition center of excellence for international at GE Healthcare. So I am thrilled to be here today representing the company and having the opportunity to interview my inspiring colleague, Patricia. So thanks for being here, Patricia, and please quickly introduce yourself.
Thank you, Tina. So my name is Patricia Leneze. I'm senior, software developer the software manager. Sorry. It's better. In GE Healthcare. My team is developing advanced medical imaging software, on CT, MRI, and X-ray. We help, doctors, to review images, to prepare the operation, to give them, during procedure. And, I have been working in, g for almost, twenty years now. The time is going really fast.
Time is flying here.
Yeah. Exactly.
So let's start with your story. What inspired you to pursue a career in software development, and how did you and how did your path lead to GE Healthcare?
In fact, as a child, I always liked, science, especially mathematics. For me, it's like, you know, a game, doing puzzle, putting things together, and getting something else. So, naturally, I, I have done a mathematic study and then later computer vision. And, once I have done all this study, I was wondering what can I do with all of that? And I have discovered, imaging, software. And I had the opportunity to do, a job in McGill University. I was assistant, research, in the brain imaging center working on the multiple scale sclerosis, doing registration of, brain. And there, I, discovered that it was really important for me to work in the health care environment to have an impact of on the people.
But the other part of that is that it's research, so it's really long term, project, and I wanted to have something, with an impact in a shorter term. So when I get the opportunity from, GE Healthcare, in, France to do, development in the industry, then it, like, met all my goals because it was health care. It's a product that are delivered every year. It's interaction with, doctors that has an impact. And, so that's why I joined the company. And I could see the impact because, like, few years ago, I had a CT scan, and the radiologist that was reviewing the image was using, one of the software that I developed. So Wow. I could see the impact on myself, so that was, quite fun. So, yeah, that's, that's why I joined g.
And you've grown into a leadership role in a highly technical field. What were some key moments or project that shaped your development?
I will share three key moments. So the first one is at the beginning of my career at GE. It was, one of my first, project where I was a leader. So, the doctor were looking for a solution for performing, specific intervention. So patient has a tumor in the liver, and they want to shrink the liver. And to do that, they need to find all the vessel that go to the tumor to know which, blood, flow they will get so that the tumor shrink. So we come up with a solution that is named flight plan for liver. And for almost a year, I had to work with a doctor to lead, the project to solve, technical difficulties and, do a lot of prototype.
And, I managed to do that. And at the end, we even made the cover of the RSNA. That is a big congress in my field, so it was a good achievement. And in that moment, I really felt that I am in exactly where I wanted to be. You know? Technical challenge, interaction. So it was really a a key moment for me, and I enjoy it so much that I was working a lot a lot a lot and a lot. Because when you are fun, it's sometimes difficult to stop, and that will lead to my second key moment that at one point I had children, and I had done a break, maternity leave. And I had to come back. And, it was not so easy to find the balance beak between, I wanted to still do my job.
I still have the patient, but in the same time, I wanted to have time for my family. So I need to find the balance, and, I needed to stop fighting all the battles to be on all the subject to just, do a step back and, see what really matters, what where I needed to to put my energy. And, so I have done that. And at the end of this year, the, year after coming back from the maternity leave, I thought that, you know, I have not worked so much, not as I used to do. And in fact, it was my best, evaluation that I ever had since I joined GE because my manager said, wow. You are really impactful. You can see you we can see where you interact. That is key moment. And I I feel finally, the balance is there. I had the expertise before.
I still have it, so I just need to focus where I am important. And it was really a key moment for me because it was a transition of, you know, the mouse that is running everywhere and just doing a step back. And that would lead, in fact, to a more manager role where you need to coach and not really doing things and have the energy in the right place. And my last moment, it was a key moment, I will say, and I will do it short. It was as a new manager. In my team, I had someone that were really that was really struggling in his role, and, I helped him, find his place. That was not the role that he was, doing, but something else.
And I could see in his eyes, you know, the light coming back and, the things that we are going together in the team and, that was doing well. And in fact, I thought, okay. I can have an impact, not only technically, but to see on human, and, that was the yeah. That lead me there, and, it's a big part of my, job today and important.
Mhmm. So as Manya already said, as at GE Healthcare, every role is vital. So what does that mean to you in your role, and how does it reflect the culture here?
Often, when we we receive people in interview, they said, I want to work in health care because I want, to save life and blah blah blah. We are not really saving life because we are not the the doctors, but what we do matters, and we are part of the journey that's go there. When someone is coming with a technical solution, and that you discuss with doctor and that you can see that you will make them, gain time, have more information to treat patients, it matters. As a manager, when you are making your team work, solving communication issue, it matters. When people in your team are comfortable enough, to share their concern, raise issue, it matters because it really has an impact in the product. And, yeah, so that's why every role is a little for me.
How do we actually help support women in tech, so especially in leadership roles?
What is fun in fact is that, since I started in a GH scare, I've, not felt that I was treated as a woman, but as a woman as a human being, in fact. And that was really important. The feeling that, I'm not different. I am a person, woman, man, but I'm a woman, but, you you see what I want to, mean. But there was no difference. And it was not only your feelings because, you know, a few years ago, in France, there was a a law, saying that, all the salary, need to be increased for women so that the average salary for women will be the same as the average salary for men. And I have a lot of friends outside of GL scale that get big increase of salary, and I didn't because we already had the same average because there was was no issue. Woman, man, you are doing the work, so it's the the same thing. But that doesn't mean that there is nothing for women in G health care.
There is a, an important community of, woman network, and, they are doing a lot of, presentation. There is, discussion. If you have anything as a woman that you want to share, if you want to coach someone else, there is a lot of possibility to do that.
Okay. So I think we are already at time.
So Yes. Sorry.
So much. No worries. That was great insight.
I thought you didn't. I couldn't stop.
Yeah. For sharing your journey. You're a great example of how women can, thrive in tech and how every role is truly vital at GE Healthcare. So so thank you. Thank you a lot for sharing your journey.
Thank you, Tina. It's a privilege to be part of the company that empower us and, make this a real difference.
Thank
you. You're welcome.
You both. It's been a pleasure, being here, and I see in the chat a lot of people from truly around the world. So, hopefully, we'll get in touch with, with all of them soon. Good day, everyone.
