A Bit About Nick

Nick Romano is a global oncology learning leader committed to transforming complex science into clear, human-centered capability development. A graduate of UCLA with a degree in Neuro-BioPsychology, he has built high-performing teams across oncology, hematology, and rare disease, and led major global launches across Sanofi, Abbvie, AstraZeneca Oncology, and Takeda.
 

A Chicago native, Nick's commitment to this field is deeply personal. As the primary caregiver for his mother during her stage IV NSCLC journey, he witnessed the profound impact which informed, compassionate healthcare teams can have on patients and families. That experience fuels his mission today: to design learning that empowers people to show up with excellence when it matters most. He also shares insights on leadership, influence, and resilience through his Linkedin leadership blog.
 

Outside of work, Nick is a world traveler who speaks four languages, he is a super early-riser dedicated to weight training & physical fitness, and a frequent 5K & 10K runner for multiple charities. He's a proud brother, son, and uncle to five nieces who keep him grounded and inspired.
 

As he joins BAYER Oncology as Director, Learning Strategy, he brings a global mindset, a builder's instinct with a bias for action, and a purpose anchored in people - helping teams learn boldly, lead confidently, and create meaningful impact for patients evervwhere.
