Travis Steed
BofA Securities, Research Division

Travis Steed, the medical device analyst at Bank of America. Next up, we have Becton, Dickinson, Tom Polen, CEO; and Vitor Roque, the newly announced CFO. I think you've been to Vegas a couple of times, but this is his first fireside chat as CFO. So welcome.

Vitor Roque
Executive VP & CFO

Thank you. Thanks for having me.

Maybe since it is your first fireside chat. Maybe we'll start with you just announced permanent CFO. Just kind of love to talk about your strategy as CFO. What do you think is different? What do you think is the same as we see BDX in this role?

Vitor Roque
Executive VP & CFO

Sure. No, thanks for the question, and thanks for having me. Very happy to be taking this new role as Chief Financial Officer in the search of pivotal time for BD. We just closed the transaction with Life Sciences last quarter, and we couldn't be happier with the new strategy that BD is taking.

From a CFO perspective, I think the philosophy here is to be making sure that we are like consistent and transparent, making sure that we understand the business drivers. And I actually feel that I'm very well positioned to do that given my more than 2 decades with the organization, and I can partner with Tom and the leadership team in order to drive that operation and unlock the growth that we are looking for while being very responsible, and
