Under Pressure, Leaders Rise

When I spoke with Cyrill Kellerhals, COO of Andelyn Biosciences, I was struck by how calm and grounded he was while describing some of the toughest leadership moments of his career.

At Novartis, one of the industry’s legendary companies, he encountered the kind of regulatory challenge that every leader dreads — a moment that could define the company’s future.

Instead of panicking, he led his team through it and turned it into a success.

Later, he carried those lessons into scaling a $34M operation and building a $200M biopharma facility. But what impressed me most wasn’t the numbers — it was the way he talked about leading with humility, purpose, and service to his people.

His story is a reminder that real leadership isn’t about avoiding pressure. It’s about how you show up when the stakes are highest.
