“The best thing about working at Boehringer Ingelheim is the dedicated and committed people who share a common goal: Transforming lives for generations”
Dirk Stenkamp Senior Vice President, Research Site Germany
Dirk Stenkamp, Senior Vice President Research Site Germany, reflects on our culture of collaboration and passion for progress.
I lead the Research Site Germany and I’m a member of our German Executive Committee. I’m also responsible for the majority of Boehringer Ingelheim’s global research NCE new chemical entity capabilities, so my team and I are an important driver of innovation and productivity.
Hard work and teamwork
As a researcher, I’m passionate about bringing real breakthrough innovations to patients. It excites me when our project teams’ hard work leads to drug candidates that can be tested in clinical trials, and even more so if they reach the market and help to make millions of lives better. There is no better purpose. For me, the next step is to build, together with my colleagues, an even stronger global research organization working across all therapeutic areas.
It's about the people
We have a great culture of collaboration, coupled with high commitment and persistency. As a company, we are solution-oriented and have a “care-and-share mindset” that makes us unique in the pharmaceutical industry. The people at Boehringer Ingelheim made me join the company - their culture of working together with a clear purpose. That's what attracted me from the very first day.
The best thing about working at Boehringer Ingelheim is…
I’d have to say it’s working with dedicated and committed people who share a common goal: Transforming lives for generations.
