Since returning to SOPHiA GENETICS, what are you most excited to have back in your professional life?
To fully thrive in my professional life, I need a feeling of impact and an environment where everyone works toward the same goals. Despite the expansion and exponential growth the company has gone through in the past few years, I’m lucky to find such an environment and role here at SOPHiA GENETICS.
“Together with my teammates, I’m helping collect the market dynamics and trends that will shape data-driven medicine tomorrow by putting customers at the heart of what we do.”
We define and shape our product roadmap and bring solutions to market that will positively impact patient outcomes.
What drew you back to SOPHiA GENETICS as a boomerang employee?
I first joined SOPHiA GENETICS in a sales role when we had fewer than 20 employees. While I decided to leave to develop my skill set toward product management, I always stayed in touch with former colleagues and followed the remarkable growth of SOPHiA GENETICS over the years. I was especially impressed by the expansion to the American continent and the IPO.
When a former colleague from SOPHiA GENETICS reached out with the perfect opportunity to come back and contribute my experience in product management, I was immediately intrigued. I knew the application portfolio and the SOPHiA DDM platform were competitive in the market.
However, my biggest concern was whether the company culture and strong mission would still be the same despite the organization growing to more than 400 employees. Luckily, every single person I spoke to during the interview process and on the side was able to prove that the core values of SOPHiA GENETICS haven’t changed.
One year into the job, I truly enjoy working with smart, passionate and purpose-driven people every single day to expand access to data-driven medicine and therefore deliver world-class care to patients across the globe.
