GBS is powering transformation

My name is Adriana Guiry, and I am the VP of Global Business Solutions (GBS) at Baxter. I've been thinking a lot lately about how transformation really works—not just as a buzzword, but as something that tangibly improves how we operate, grow, and serve. For me, our GBS team plays a huge role in driving that transformation. If you’ve ever wondered how GBS fits into the bigger picture, let me share what I’ve learned.

How GBS Supports our Mission and GoalS

"At its core, transformation through GBS helps us 'connect the dots.' That means we don’t just fix what’s broken—we take a step back to understand the root causes, align our actions, and find solutions that truly move the needle. It’s about prioritizing the right projects, improving processes, and keeping the company’s goals front and center. The result? A smarter, more agile Baxter that delivers more value across the board."

Embracing a Culture of Continuous Improvement

"We’re tackling some major pain points head-on—like post-close adjustments that waste time, cash flow challenges, and clunky processes that slow us down. But it’s not just about fixing systems; we’re also shifting the mindset. Instead of protecting outdated ways of working, we’re embracing transparency and a culture of continuous improvement. It’s a big change—and it’s already making a real impact."

You can Make an impact

“This is what excites me the most. GBS gives us the chance to be part of the solution. We get to work with data to spot problems before they arise, simplify and standardize processes, and even help lead innovation efforts. For the curious and the ambitious, there are real career development paths—through things like career days, automation projects, or cross-functional learning opportunities. We’re encouraged to lean in, speak up, and take ownership.”

this is personal

"Transformation isn’t something 'over there' in strategy or IT—it’s something I get to help lead, right here in my daily work. And when I see how these changes help Baxter serve patients more effectively, operate more efficiently, and create better careers for all of us, it reminds me that GBS isn’t just about what we do—it’s about how we grow, together."
