To be able to work for a company like Boehringer Ingelheim is an amazing opportunity - so I’d encourage you to apply for a role you qualify for. There aren’t too many companies developing drugs for so many diseases, and Boehringer Ingelheim is one of the best places to make a contribution, working with the people of the highest calibre. I also think it’s great that we’re free to interact with each other at Boehringer Ingelheim, to work as a team to come up with the best possible solution.
Why I work for Boehringer Ingelheim
From the human perspective, you’re trying to develop a drug that helps someone feel a little bit better. You know that while it might not be a cure, it could be a treatment that improves someone’s quality of life - or even keeps them alive. To be able to make that kind of contribution is what brings me to work and makes me say ‘Ok, I really want to do this.’
This sense of giving also continues outside of work. Whenever there’s an opportunity to participate in my church outreach programme, for example, my colleagues at Boehringer Ingelheim get together as a family. If there are people in need, why not go and help?
