“Seventeen years at Abbott has given me the opportunity to benefit from myriad of different experiences. I have had nine distinct jobs across several franchises. The experiences have been different, but I have always found that opportunities to develop and advance have presented themselves based on a person’s ability to perform. I came to Abbott looking for a place that offered a diversity of experiences. I have stayed because those experiences are available for those willing to work for them.”

My Career Path:

“To be a part of a company that has a strong sense of purpose – delivering life-improving products to people when they need them – has always been very important to me. At Abbott, the patient is at the forefront of our discussions. I personally have been able to serve patient needs from slightly different angles in each of the 10 jobs I’ve held over my 19 years with Abbott. My diverse career path is a testament to Abbott’s belief that investing in employees’ strengths and interests is the best way to grow a strong, diverse team that is best able to serve our customers. At Abbott, the support for continued individual growth and development through new experiences fosters caring about our products and the patients that use them and creates our enduring culture.”

My Career Path:

“I have remained as excited and inspired as when I first started at Abbott because Abbott is a place where the bar is continuously raised in the positive sense and you are met with new challenges every year. We strive to continuously improve and advance in all aspects of the company. Abbott has a rewarding culture in that it values people who make a difference and generate positive influence in their work place environment. Abbott will continue to be a dynamic company meeting various health care needs around the world. As a global health care company with diverse businesses in pharmaceuticals, nutrition, and medical devices, employees can explore a broad range of opportunities and challenges at Abbott.”

My Career Path:

“I joined Abbott 10 years ago, incredibly excited to have the opportunity to build a professional legacy based on my contributions. I live our brand promise and exhibit our values through my work. Since I've been employed by Abbott, I've been given the opportunity to learn, grow and make an impact on the lives of our patients, employees and communities. Each of my parents retired from Abbott with more than 25 years of service, so it is very exciting to be here today and to play a part in creating our future. I am also thrilled that Abbott has a very strong, diverse product pipeline and our culture is innovative.”

My Career Path:

“I started in Abbott back in 2001. My decision to join the company was driven by the excellent reputation Abbott had in my home country, Colombia. Abbott is considered one of the best places to work in the country.

During my 10-year career I have had the opportunity to work with different commercial divisions – first with the Pharmaceutical Products Group, then with Abbott Molecular and now with Abbott Nutrition. Abbott has provided limitless learning opportunities to help me succeed. Each division operates in a different business environment, has different go-to-market strategies and products that are considered breakthroughs and best-in-class.

Moving within and across the different businesses is encouraged in our company. You always have the opportunity to try new challenges and to grow professionally.

Opportunities for professional growth are numerous not only in different business divisions but also in locations around the world, as Abbott sells its products in more than 130 countries. In my career I have made friends from all over the world, from beautiful Japan to amazing Argentina.

The portfolio of business, the global presence and a culture of empowerment makes Abbott an amazing place to work.”
