In daily market operations, people usually ask me, "How is your company?" And my usual answer is "Our company has a harmonious work atmosphere and the employees are close to each other." When choosing a job, everyone inevitably evaluates products and employee benefits. However, employees who join Chugai Pharma Taiwan don’t need to worry too much because the corporate mission is "Patient Centric." When a company puts the patient in the first priority, then the quality of drugs are definitely not a problem. Therefore, whenever someone asks me about Chugai Pharma Taiwan, I will generously share that we have a good relationship and team cohesiveness. What impressed me was that our company arranged a training course at the Fullon Hotel Tamsui Fishermen's Wharf a few years ago. The teacher said, “I have served as a lecturer for so many manufacturers, including technology industry and pharmaceutical industry. No matter which company it is, it has never been as friendly as your company. Although colleagues in company are in competitive relationship, you are willing to help each other pass the test.” I thought the teacher’s main idea is "Brothers climb the mountain, they work hard themselves. Whoever reaches the summit of mountain first, he will win.” Most companies hold this concept inside. However, in CPT, if we can help our colleagues on the way, then we could enjoy the beautiful scenery together. It is better than we achieve alone. Finally, it is worth mentioning that our company is willing to give young people opportunities to grow and thrive, and also give senior employees room for growth and progress. The old and new generations support each other and pass on experience so that we can continue to use better medicines to help patients in need.

Joined Chugai Taiwan over 10 years and holding several commercial management roles in Taiwan, I was transferred to Tokyo HQ in 2022 Jun through human resource exchange mechanism for an international assignment. Over the past year , I have worked with several product lifecycle teams, involved in global business development management, new indications development planning, and collaboration with overseas subsidiaries and external business partners. In addition to product-related business, I have also participated in the planning and execution of several projects in the HQ, such as organizational enhancement planning of overseas subsidiaries, and corporate governance process improving etc. These are really precious experience to me which I could not gain when I worked in Taiwan. Chugai is a global leading research-based pharmaceutical company dedicated to innovative drug research and development for the patients in need that I am very proud to work here. Moreover, Chugai has a flexible business strategy in accelerating innovation and expanding global business which is strategic alliances with Roche. Unlike most MNC pharma companies, our organization is relatively small, and our work in product lifecycle management (from the early R&D stage to the commercial stage) often requires cross-functional cooperation, and collaboration with external business partners. Working in Chugai has many opportunities to participate and learn about all stages of value chain in pharmaceutical product development. Due to unique business strategy of Chugai, we have a flexible corporate culture, focus on innovative products, a well-established career development mechanism, and we eager to attract global talents to promote innovation. For those who want to develop career in the pharmaceutical industry, I am confident that Chugai is the best choice.
