Can you share your career story at Lonza with us?
My first contact with Lonza was reading about it in the news, and I was impressed
with its growth and how it covers a diverse range of therapies - from smallmolecules, to cell and gene and biologics. I joined Lonza in July 2019 as a Quality
Assurance Manager, and in 2022 I was promoted to be a member of the QA mRNA
leadership team.
My team and I play a crucial role in supporting the safe and consistent production of
mRNA, adhering to specific standards and striving to continuously improve results
and eliminate errors - which ensures the safety of the patient. My work involves
finding innovative solutions to challenges and making sure my team is engaged,
curious and takes the initiative to find the best possible solutions. I feel like I am in
the right organization to learn, grow and make an impact.
I love working with such a dedicated and reliable team, and seeing my team
members prosper and grow is the biggest motivation for me, and keeps me moving
forward. Working with employees from over 58 countries is something pretty special
about working at Lonza Visp, and something that one does not encounter that often.
I am also an ambassador for Valais4You, where I support my colleagues in
integrating not only at Lonza, but the Valais region as well. It is exciting to see the
site growing and more customers choosing to partner with us.

I chose Lonza because…
Lonza is incredibly agile, always evolving to serve the needs of the industry by
developing new technologies and solutions. With Lonza growing so quickly, I felt
there were lots of opportunities and potential to grow with the company.
Since I started at Lonza, my career has progressed…
Beyond my expectations since 2011, when I started as a trainee with Lonza's
Analytical Services Department in Slough (UK) under the Singapore Economic
Development Board's STRAT program. It was a rigorous 1-year training program
across various analytical groups like process analytics, characterization and method
development & validation. By month ten, I was trained to perform around 15 Lonza
platform bioanalytical assays and was offered a role as Analytical Technologist by
Lonza, Singapore Development Services. In 2014, I was promoted to the Scientistposition. In 2017, I joined the recently established drug product services business
unit as Senior Scientist in Phys-Chem Analytics & Quality Control Group. It's been
an amazing few years.
It's special to work at Lonza because…
It offers the whole spectrum of services from drug substance development all the
way to drug product manufacturing. We're unlike any other contract development
and manufacturing organization (CDMO) - we don't just act like a service provider
but we actively solve our customer's challenges.
My work is meaningful because…
We have lots of experience and expertise, allowing to act as consultants and help
customers get their drugs to market faster. I learn something new every day and
being in a multinational company enables me to work closely with colleagues from
various sites.
What makes me feel good at the end of the working day is…
Knowing that what we do in the lab helps to ensure the quality, identity, strength, and
purity of drug products that impact the lives of patients. Being able to deliver
analytical data to customers on time also makes a big difference. And I enjoy helping
to onboard new colleagues so they can hit the ground running and get their first jobs
right, first time.
The most exciting thing about working at Lonza is…
The dynamic, fast-paced and challenging nature of the company and the work we
do.
What I most appreciate about my team is…
Their wonderful personalities. I also get incredibly strong support and recognition
from my managers. The teamwork is second to none, everyone collaborates and
helps one another towards a common goal.
