Introduction

Excelya’s pharmacovigilance team excellence is built by people who combine scientific rigor with care, audacity, and energy. In 2025, we are proud to recognize three PV & Safety colleagues whose daily actions strengthen collaboration, delivery quality, and a culture of trust across our teams.

Why It Matters

Why recognition matters in PV & Safety

In PV & Safety, excellence depends on more than process compliance. It also depends on people who communicate clearly, anticipate issues, support one another, and stay focused on quality at every stage of delivery.

That human dimension matters in pharmacovigilance. As the WHO overview of medicine safety monitoring makes clear, strong safety systems rely on vigilance, coordination, and consistent reporting practices. Behind every robust process, there are professionals who make those standards real in daily work.

At Excelya, recognition helps reinforce that mindset. It highlights the behaviors that strengthen team performance and sustain a strong patient safety culture. It also reflects the standards we want to see across the wider pharmacovigilance team, from collaboration and clarity to initiative and continuous improvement.

For 2025, PV & Safety Line Managers nominated colleagues who demonstrated Excelya’s core values in action. Safety Project Leaders then reviewed and voted on the nominations, making this recognition a meaningful reflection of appreciation from both peers and leaders.

Recognition Spotlight

2025 Certificate of Recognition Awardees

Konstantina Tatsi: Care, Audacity, and Energy

The first Certificate of Recognition is awarded to Konstantina Tatsi, whose contribution reflects three of Excelya’s core values: Care, Audacity, and Energy.

Konstantina brings momentum to every project she supports. She works with enthusiasm, offers help quickly, and shares knowledge generously. As a result, colleagues can rely on her not only for execution, but also for the positive energy she brings to team interactions.

Her impact also comes from her proactive mindset. She does not wait for challenges to grow. Instead, she helps identify issues early, supports practical solutions, and contributes beyond her immediate scope when the team needs it. That kind of initiative strengthens operational flow and improves collective performance.

“

What makes Konstantina especially distinctive is her balance of warmth and boldness. She supports colleagues with genuine care, while also bringing the confidence to suggest new ideas, question assumptions, and encourage better ways of working. In a high responsibility environment such as PV & Safety, that combination is particularly valuable.

Mathilde Massip: Innovation with Purpose

The second Certificate of Recognition is awarded to Mathilde Massip, whose forward looking mindset reflects Excelya’s commitment to innovation, progress, and meaningful collaboration.

Mathilde approaches her work with curiosity and creativity. She asks thoughtful questions, contributes constructive ideas, and encourages teams to look beyond established habits when better approaches are possible. That willingness to think ahead supports continuous improvement and helps projects evolve in a smart, practical way.

She also demonstrates audacity in the right sense of the word. She engages with change positively, challenges the status quo when needed, and helps create space for better decisions. In a fast moving environment, that attitude helps teams stay agile without losing focus.

“

At the same time, Mathilde’s influence is not limited to ideas. She contributes to a team environment built on mutual respect, shared progress, and collective purpose. Her presence supports the kind of professional culture that allows excellence to grow over time.

Maria Ioanna Stafylaki: Care in Action

The third Certificate of Recognition is awarded to Maria Ioanna Stafylaki, known as Marianna, whose daily work reflects Excelya’s core value of Care.

Marianna supports collaboration through attentiveness, clarity, and steady guidance. She helps create an environment where colleagues feel heard, respected, and comfortable asking questions. That kind of presence can have a powerful effect on team cohesion, especially in functions where precision and communication matter so much.

Her approach is both empathetic and practical. Whether she is helping a colleague navigate a complex task or ensuring that information is shared clearly and constructively, she brings patience and professionalism to the process. In doing so, she strengthens trust across the team.

“

Marianna’s impact extends beyond her immediate responsibilities. She helps shape a workplace where support is visible, knowledge is shared openly, and success is understood as something built together. This recognition acknowledges that meaningful contribution and the example she sets every day.

Audacity inspires innovation

How Excelya’s values shape PV & Safety excellence

These recognitions celebrate individual achievement, but they also say something broader about Excelya’s culture. A strong pharmacovigilance team does not rely on technical expertise alone. It also depends on behaviors that support quality under pressure: clear communication, proactive collaboration, sound judgment, and respect for others’ work. When those behaviors are recognized, they become part of the standard the team continues to build.

At Excelya, care supports reliable collaboration. Audacity encourages improvement and fresh thinking. Energy helps teams move forward with commitment and resilience. Together, these values strengthen not only internal culture, but also the way the pharmacovigilance team delivers for clients, partners, and ultimately patients. This is especially important in a niche professional environment. Sponsors and stakeholders expect accuracy, responsiveness, and consistency. Those outcomes are supported by process, but they are sustained by people.

A Culture of Excellence

Looking ahead

By recognizing Konstantina Tatsi, Mathilde Massip, and Maria Ioanna Stafylaki, Excelya celebrates more than three individual contributions. It reaffirms a culture in which excellence is visible in daily actions, thoughtful decisions, and collaborative behavior.

Their example shows what the best pharmacovigilance team culture looks like in practice: people who care deeply, contribute boldly, and help others succeed. We extend our warm congratulations to the 2025 Certificate of Recognition awardees. Thank you for the example you set and for the value you bring to Excelya every day.
