You just passed the 1-year mark at Medtronic. We’d love to maybe kick it off by hearing from your perspective, how the business has evolved over the last year. And as you look out over the next 12 months, what gets you most excited?
Thierry Pieton
Executive VP & CFO
Yes. Look, first of all, it’s been an interesting 12 months. I mean we’ve had a lot of things going on between sort of accelerating some of the new product launches and some of the portfolio actions that we’ve taken that I’m sure we’ll talk about, the IPO of MiniMed and we’re going back on offense in M&A, and we’ve done a couple of things in the last 3 or 4 months. So it’s been pretty busy. Look, I think the business has growing confidence.
I think a lot of the work that has been done for several years in the past few years to build the portfolio and to reinforce some of the operating mechanisms in the team and to work on R&D on some of the innovations that we’re launching now, it’s starting to pay off. And I think there’s a lot of excitement
