How did you get started in the pharmaceutical industry?

My first job in pharmaceuticals was in the finance department. Most of my day-to-day job was focused on budgets, forecasting and sales reporting with just a small part of the job being IT. That all changed when that company merged with another company and the use of IT systems at everyone’s desk become the new way of working. This was a turning point in my career and since then I have been working in IT in various roles and geographies with increased level of responsibilities.
