Case Study: Gilead Sciences scales AI coaching across its workforce with Valence

Gilead Sciences pilots Valence AI coaching with 1,000 employees in 6–8 weeks

Gilead Sciences, a global biopharmaceutical company, sought to embed a new enterprise-wide growth philosophy to personalize employee development at scale. To initiate this transformation, they partnered with the vendor Valence to implement its AI coaching platform, Nadia, as a foundational tool to help employees understand their growth paths and improve their skills.

Valence's solution involved deploying the Nadia AI coach through a strategic pilot and rollout plan. The implementation generated immediate positive feedback, with some participants becoming so engaged they lost track of time. Notably, over 30% of the C-suite proactively requested early access, providing strong top-down advocacy. Valence helped Gilead successfully launch the first step of its growth transformation, with a full workforce rollout planned for mid-2025.
