Lis Warren

Associate Director of Project Management - Genentech Research and Early Development Portfolio Management and Operations

After nearly a decade with Genentech, Lis Warren has held a variety of roles and loved them all. She credits Genentech's perspectives on Diversity and Inclusion as part of the reason the company has a long history of success. "Research demonstrates that diverse teams make better decisions and that companies with greater diversity also have higher levels of employee satisfaction. The mission at Genentech is incredible, and it all hinges on the exceptional decision-making that takes place throughout the drug development lifecycle."

She's also grateful for Genentech's domestic partner health benefits. "It's a huge relief to know that I'm able to provide for and protect the people I love. On a lighter note, I love the MyConcierge service."

For those embarking on a Genentech career, Lis encourages them to "sink their teeth in and get involved. Don't ever be afraid to ask questions or voice your opinions. If you are hired, it's because someone saw something unique in you that will help make our business stronger."

"I love the vantage point that my role offers. I get to see the broad strategic context of each of the molecules as they are moved through various investment gates, including the data from the trials. It's all highly fascinating."
