Talk:Joseph Jimenez

Editing article for NPOV
Hi, I'm Katya – a social media manager at Novartis. I'm aware of WP:COI and thus would like to raise to the community some portions of this article that I think could be improved. It looks like Section 3.1 was simply copied and pasted in its entirety from the article on Novartis. I'm not sure if this section should be here, for a number of reasons. The duplication seems to be redundant (especially as there's an extensive record of this information on the main Novartis article). Also, most of these controversies happened before Joseph Jimenez became CEO in 2010. Some of them even happened before he joined Novartis in 2007. The last part of this section (3.1.6) has actually been cut from the main Novartis article. The court case is ongoing, so there’s no solid story yet. In the interests of NPOV, wouldn’t it be better to wait until the case is settled one way or the other before writing about it? Finally, the Conflicts and Criticisms section is much, much larger than the rest of the article. Doesn't this constitute Undue Weight?

For the reasons listed above I’d recommend to remove the section 3.1. Please let me know what you think. Katya Reck (talk) 14:57, 6 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Hello. OMG, the section 3.1 is so wrong here. You are absolutely right, I deleted it. Regards --KurtR (talk) 22:30, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

Add information about Joseph Jimenez's Board positions
Joseph Jimenez serves on the boards of multiple companies and it would be great to create a new section called 'Board positions' after the 'Novartis' section. The information about his board positions is provided below, along with citations for each.

Can you please move the sentence "Jimenez joined the board of directors at General Motors on June 9, 2015 ." from the 'Novartis' section to the beginning of the 'Board positions' section?

Can you please add the below to the 'Board positions' section after the General Motors sentence:

Jimenez also has served on the Board of Directors of Procter & Gamble since 2018, where he is lead independent director. He also serves as Chairman of Century Therapeutics, an iPSC derived allogeneic cell therapy company, and is on the Board of Graphite Bio, a gene therapy company.

 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: Denied due to a lack of independent and reliable sourcing, pursuant to WP:RS. Also, it is unnecessary to create a new section for his board positions. That can go into the article's Career section. Quetstar (talk) 17:51, 2 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your feedback. I have provided alternative references from reputable third party sources for each of the Board position entries below. Please let me know if this works for you and can be incorporated into the article. Ok to have it as part of the Career section as you recommended.

Requesting update to Career section
Per the feedback provided above by Quetstar, I have revised the request and since I haven't heard back from Quetstar for a couple of weeks, I would like to re-submit this request to the general Talk page in the hopes that some other editor will review and publish these edits.

Can you please add the following information to the Careers section:

Jimenez joined the board of directors at General Motors on June 9, 2015.

Jimenez also has served on the Board of Directors of Procter & Gamble since 2018, where he is lead independent director.

He also serves as Chairman of Century Therapeutics, an iPSC derived allogeneic cell therapy company, and is on the Board of Graphite Bio, a gene therapy company.


 * (You can reopen a request by removing the |D or |P from the end of the . We're unlikely to see it if it's still marked as closed, because it won't show up on the list of still-open ones.)
