After the announcement, Novo employees gathered to cheer on their departing boss as he descended a winding staircase at the company's headquarters. With Juergensen headed for the exit, the company announced it would bring back someone with deep institutional knowledge, a previous CEO.

The old Lars, Lars Sorensen, was actually Lars Jørgensen's predecessor. Sorensen was CEO at the time when Novo was just beginning to set the stage for its GLP-1 success. Now, he'll be returning to oversee the company's future.

Well, thank you for being here and being so patient with all of our tech stuff. Last year, I interviewed Lars Sorensen, the returning Lars, for our series Trillion Dollar Shot, which is about the rise of GLP-1 drugs. At the time, I asked him about Novo's rivalry with Eli Lilly. Who would you say is winning the competition right now?
