Laura Pletsch Borba
Associate Director, Networking & Activities
​​
Born and raised in Brazil and having always had a curious look into the world’s diversity, after my medical studies I moved to the Netherlands to pursue an academic career. Soon after I moved to Germany for my PhD and then to start my specialisation in endocrinology. In August 2023, destiny brought me to Denmark and to Novo Nordisk.
​
Having already lived in more than 10 cities in 4 countries, I have come to value a community which engages in making life more exciting for newcomers (and also old-commers, of course). Therefore, joining NovoNations and its executive board of Networking & Activities immediately after joining Novo Nordisk was a “no brainer”. Experiencing that people are feeling warmly welcomed and are being able to more easily adapt and find their way into a new environment gives me enormous joy.
​
Outside work, I love outdoor sports, everything related to nature and reading with my cats.
