My Journey to Novartis: Finding my Purpose and Passion

When I first joined Novartis, I was nervous yet open to new experiences. I did not have experience in the pharmaceutical industry, and the dynamics and ways of working in marketing were completely different from what I was used to.

Every number has a story – my journey to Novartis as a Refugee

The current refugee crisis is one of the world's greatest humanitarian challenges. Svitlana shares her story of her journey to Novartis and how her work as part of the Giving and Volunteering team is opening the doors to refugees and other marginalized groups and allowing our people to make a difference by helping those who are most vulnerable.

A personal journey full circle, from curiosity about life on Earth to transformative therapies at Novartis

How collaboration can enhance your science career
