Grace Lean

Senior Director of Ecommerce Integrated Dna Technologies

Grace Lean leads ecommerce strategy at Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT), where digital investment competes for attention alongside the science itself. In life sciences, the pull toward physical product innovation is constant.

Grace's work is about making the case that the digital experience surrounding that product is just as essential — to growth, to customers, and to the business. She's built cross-functional alignment from scratch, led major digital transformation initiatives, and learned how to sustain leadership confidence when timelines stretch and priorities shift. Her approach centers on one conviction: digital commerce isn't a nice-to-have. It's the infrastructure that connects great science to the people who need it.

She joins this panel to share what it actually takes to move organizations from cautious approval to long-term commitment.

Priorities Under Pressure: Backing the Right Enterprise Initiatives

12:25 PM PANEL REMIX: Change Management Playbooks: How Leaders Build and Maintain Digital Buy-In

Leadership support for digital initiatives in B2B is hard to build and even harder to keep. Join senior B2B leaders as they share what it actually took to earn initial commitment, frame progress when timelines slipped, and keep digital on the agenda through the hard middle.

Explore how executive confidence in digital is earned, strengthened, and sustained. Through real decision moments, speakers share how they aligned finance and business leadership, positioned digital as core infrastructure, and moved organizations from cautious approval to long-term commitment.

Gain strategies on how to frame your progress:

  • Clarifying what leadership needs to see before committing beyond pilots
  • Positioning digital as core business infrastructure rather than discretionary spend
  • Sustaining confidence when timelines extend and priorities compete

2:25 PM B2B LEADERSHIP CONVERSATION: One Roadmap: Aligning Commercial and Technical Leadership to Accelerate Digital Execution

The bigger the B2B enterprise, the more digital transformation gets pulled apart by competing priorities, departmental handoffs, and a persistent gap between what commercial teams need and what technical teams can realistically deliver. The result is slower execution, competing roadmaps, and build vs. buy decisions relitigated every quarter.

Hear how two senior leaders turned a fragmented decision model into a shared framework that accelerated execution, reduced rework, and delivered faster ROI across their digital portfolio. In an environment where speed to value is the metric that matters most, siloed decision making is no longer a viable operating model.

Apply real lessons from two executives who closed the gap:
• Diagnosing whether slow execution is an ownership problem, a prioritization problem, or both
• Building a shared decision framework that holds under resource and timeline pressure
• Evaluating build vs. buy faster and with more durable outcomes when commercial and technical align from the start
