Veeva Executive Summit 2026 - North America

The Next Era of Quality Leadership — AI and the Reinvention of the Quality Operating Model

This year’s Quality Leaders Executive Summit brought together an exceptional group of leaders who shared how they are evolving their organizations, operating models, and leadership mandates for the next era. We explored how leaders are redefining the role of quality across the enterprise, shifting from functional oversight to strategic leadership.

As AI reshapes decision-making and operating models, leading organizations are rethinking how quality drives performance, resilience, and competitive advantage.

“We still have to do the traditional things as quality leaders: safety, quality, regulatory compliance.

But the biggest shift that's happening is towards value creation. How are you going to add value to the corporation?”

Gilberto Quintero

Global Chief Quality Officer

“We as quality leaders have to move as fast as, or faster than, the business. We have to think differently and fundamentally change how we work.

AI and technology, targeted at the right problems, will allow us to do that.”

Derek Henderson

Vice President of Quality

“Digital transformation gives us the ability to share our data throughout the organization.

That lets us show how much we enable business, and how other teams can use our data to make better commercial and strategic decisions. That's an amazing opportunity.”

Heather Bramble

Vice President of Global Product Safety
