In February, we welcomed the first cohort of 2026 to the Emerging Leader Program at SOPHiA GENETICS. 

SOPHiANs traveled from France, Germany, Italy, and beyond to join us in Switzerland, alongside leaders working in transversal roles across teams and functions. With more than 35 nationalities represented across SOPHiA GENETICS, investing in leaders who can connect teams, navigate complexity, and build trust across cultures is more important than ever. 

Throughout the program, participants shared experiences and explored practical leadership topics such as connecting vision to action, engaging and motivating teams, giving meaningful feedback, building influence, and leading through change.

A special thank you to Gianfranco Piroli for joining the cohort and sharing valuable insights on change management and the ADKAR framework. 
Thank you to all the participants who brought curiosity, thoughtful questions, and a collaborative spirit to the program. 

And the journey continues: two additional cohorts are planned this year — in Boston in Q3 and in Rolle in Q4!
