Sarah Hamirani
Operations Program Leader - Product Development Global Operations
Sarah loves the dual role that her job affords her. "I get to be a leader to my team and then represent them to our cross-functional partners by serving as an ambassador for PDGO." While she can't imagine doing anything else right now, Sarah does think it would be interesting to participate in one of Genentech's rotational programs and learn more about core functions, such as manufacturing, commercial and research, and then bring that knowledge back to her functional area.
Her connection to Genentech has a personal side as well. "Two years ago a family friend was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and it was devastating. Thanks to the tremendous resources available at Genentech, I was able to provide information on Rituxan® (Rituximab) as a possible treatment. This helped his family better understand the illness and know what to be asking the doctors."
As a board member of the South Asian Network at Genentech (SANG) for three years, she highly recommends joining a diversity club at Genentech. "I've attended events hosted by many of the groups, including SAGES, GWP and NextGen. They're a great way to meet colleagues throughout the company and build relationships."
"It's very exciting to take the project vision and execute on the life cycle and clinical development plans by developing unique operational strategies that contribute to the molecule's success."
