CLDP Associates gain valuable experience across the Commercial organization through three rotational assignments geared towards broadening their understanding of the business while enhancing management and leadership skills.
I had tremendous support from my manager, the overall Neruoscience A&I team, my mentors, and the greater Takeda commercial organization — so much so that I had the confidence and support to propose my own projects involving collaborations with other business units and also led a fun team building trivia event!

I learned a great deal from the pharma industry, ranging from best practices to knowledge about various therapeutic areas. As someone making the transition from the frontlines of healthcare to the corporate side, I benefitted enormously from learning some skills that others with a more traditional business background are well practiced in.
