This week I passed the 90 day mark at Merck. And as I am nearing the end of my “first 100 days” and reflecting on all that I have learned, I wanted to sincerely thank all of my new Merck colleagues for being so welcoming and investing your time to help me learn. Last week I was fortunate enough to visit with teams across Ireland and the Netherlands and on the flight home I did a quick tally. In 3 months I have traveled through 6 countries, meeting teams in 11 sites (including 4 plants!), participated in 7 townhalls, and got to meet HR leaders and learn about their work through 10 deep dives, 5 roundtables and 5 skip levels! Across all of the meetings and visits I have experienced wonderful people, been inspired by our science and products, and been humbled by the sense of purpose and the limitless potential of our team. I am so very proud and grateful to be a part of this team! My phone is quickly filling up with selfies and photos of all the dedicated, talented and passionate people I am meeting. Sharing only a few!
