What fuels innovation at IQVIA? A culture that puts ideas

Learn why we rank number one among our peers in innovation.

At IQVIA, innovation is the engine driving everything we do. That’s why we’re proud to have been ranked number one in innovation among our industry peers in the 2025 Fortune® Most Admired Companies™ list.

But what does innovation actually look like at IQVIA? And why is now such an exciting time to be part of it?

We spoke with Natalia Kotchie, senior vice president of R&D Solutions at IQVIA, to get an inside look at the mindset behind our innovation journey and what it means for future talent.

Breakthroughs in action

"At IQVIA, we sit at this very exciting intersection of rich data, advanced technology and deep expertise,” said Natalia. “It is a trifecta that allows us to make intelligent connections across systems and stakeholders today that were previously not possible, helping our customers unlock answers to some of healthcare's most complex challenges.”

What kind of challenges? Think improved access to clinical trials through decentralized technologies, prediction of disease in patients before symptoms appear and targeted precision therapies for cancer and rare disease, to name a few.

“We’re constantly looking at how we can do things better, in new ways,” said Natalia. “From designing more efficient trials to enabling faster access to life-changing treatments, we’re focused on helping our customers deliver more value and doing right by the patients who are waiting.”

One of the most exciting areas of growth? AI-powered clinical development. IQVIA’s collaboration with NVIDIA  is accelerating new levels of agentic automation — technologies that make it possible to solve problems previously too complex to tackle.

“We’re building solutions that accelerate clinical trials and reduce what we call ‘white space’—those gaps where time and momentum are lost, which can then lead to delays in milestones like patient enrollment,” said Natalia. “This helps customers move faster and ultimately gets treatments to patients sooner.”

One IQVIA, multiple careers

If you are looking to grow your career in a forward-thinking environment, you'd be hard-pressed to find a more collaborative culture of innovation.

“As a colleague at IQVIA, if you see something that’s interesting to you, all you have to do is raise your hand,” said Natalia. “There is really no limit to our colleagues' desires to stretch and grow in ways that interest them.”
