This is Ipsen
Behind every job title is a human story
Nobody arrives at work as just an employee. Behind every scientist, every assistant, every account manager, there’s always someone else. A patient. A caregiver. A parent. A child. And that changes everything.
Meet Carole, Agnès, Ed and Jacquie
They work at Ipsen, but their job titles tell only part of who they are.
We asked them to share the experiences that have shaped their lives and perspectives, and to tell us more about who they are beyond work.
.
Carole
When Carole’s mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, her whole family was affected. Over the years, the experience has profoundly changed the relationship between mother and daughter.
Agnès
When both of Agnès’ parents were diagnosed with cancer within months of each other, she found herself facing the possibility of losing them both. As a daughter, mother and caregiver, the experience changed the way she thinks about caring for others and herself.
Ed
Ed was diagnosed with kidney cancer when his daughter was just six months old. Today, as a cancer survivor and Oncology Account Manager, his personal and professional worlds intersect in a way he never expected.
Jacquie
A mother and a scientist, Jacquie has been living with axial spondyloarthritis for over a decade. Living with a chronic disease meant adjusting to a new reality. It also brought a deeply personal perspective to her work.
