Alan White
In this episode of Vigilance Unplugged, Alan White tells a story of chance, courage and calculated pivots: a business-student from Liverpool who lands in the Czech Republic, stumbles into translation work, and discovers a regulatory niche that becomes the spark for Arriello. Through vivid scenes—knocking on doors with printed CVs, awkward early sales pitches in a pizzeria, and the crunch of global financial shock—Alan traces the twists that turned frustration into a founding moment. As the narrative unfolds, we follow the hard lessons of growth: why sticking to what you do well matters, how culture and leadership shape careers, and how technology and AI are changing the rules of pharmacovigilance. Alan’s candid reflections—on bosses who made him cry, interns thrown in at the deep end, and the difficult choices that create resilience—weave together personal stakes with industry-wide shifts. Tune in to hear a human story about building a business in a regulated world: the setbacks, the strategy pivots, and the long view on where life sciences are headed—and what he would tell his younger self about taking risks, learning fast, and staying curious.

Stephanie Martin
She began as a child inspired by a kindly pediatrician and ended up reshaping how companies keep patients safe. In this episode Stephanie Martin traces a winding path through biochemistry studies in France, a life-changing move to the UK, and formative roles at GSK, a CRO, Sanofi and Eli Lilly — each stop sharpening her instincts for quality and risk. As an auditor Stephanie learned to balance detail and perspective, to turn deviations into opportunities, and to teach teams that audits are a partnership, not a police visit. She shares the moment she chose independence, founding SMPV Limited, and how that leap let her scale the impact of her values: smarter systems, simpler processes, and clearer focus on patient safety. Along the way she confronts the challenges of a changing PV landscape — AI, localization, and the temptation to move fast without asking why — and invites listeners to pause, think critically, and redesign pharmacovigilance with patients at the center.
