Julie Richter
Engineer II - Oceanside Downstream MSAT
Even though Julie's focus is on engineering, she is continually reminded that her work has a positive effect on people's lives. "We have a huge impact on so many patients, and I am especially proud of our programs that help provide drugs to patients in need. There's a sense of purpose that goes beyond the bottom line."
On a day-to-day basis, Julie supports the current commercial manufacturing and tech transfer of Genentech products, efforts that directly impact the operations and throughput of the Oceanside facility. A problem solver by nature, Julie's areas of interest are project management and operational excellence, and she loves being involved with improvement projects.
But it's not only about work. "My favorite event is Genentech Goes to Town because it benefits the communities that Genentech serves, which is something I really admire about this company. Plus, I cherish the friendships and relationships that I've developed over the years. We really do have a great workforce. The teamwork makes it possible to get incredible things done."
"I greatly appreciate the diversity and breadth of strengths that exist within Genentech. The things that people here can do are nothing short of amazing. I am so lucky to be a part of it."
Born to Solve Problems
Julie Richter's day may be focused on engineering and operations, but she never forgets that the problems she solves help make it possible for Genentech to deliver breakthrough medicines to patients.
