Ron Park
Marketing Director - Xolair Marketing
Ron Park knows firsthand that timing is everything. While working in management consulting, Ron developed expertise in pricing strategy. "A friend of mine who worked at Genentech knew about this expertise, and he also knew that the head of his department was looking to set up a Pricing Strategy group. He urged me to apply, and the rest is history."
Fast forward several years, and Ron now considers many of the fascinating people that he's met during his time with Genentech among his closest friends. "We tend to work cross-functionally, so I have friends throughout the company, from Managed Care and Sales to Legal and Portfolio Planning. It's interesting to be exposed to various departments and projects."
For those who are new to Genentech, Ron advises them to spend the first month or two really learning about Genentech's culture and the way people approach issues. "Also, ask lots of questions and get to know people. I think this is often the best way to ensure a successful future at Genentech."
"The chance to take on different, unique and fascinating challenges every single day on behalf of our patients is the most interesting thing about my work. I can't remember a single moment of boredom since I've been with Genentech."
