Going the extra mile for BMS and our patients by taking care of myself and family first

Read Iara Silva’s story, a BMS employee

Iara Silva

I joined BMS as a Training Manager in 2014. I’m not exaggerating when I say I've been living the best years of my career here. I also worked as a Marketing Manager and was recently promoted to New Product Planning Manager after returning from maternity leave. I’ve had two kids since joining BMS. I can assure you that during both pregnancies, I was well taken care of. My office sent me healthy meals, respected my medical appointments, and even made sure I had the right chair to support my posture. My story is an important example of how someone can have a flexible career path –starting in academic science and shifting to the commercial area, then to the medical area and then to marketing. These experiences gave me a strong foundation to get to the position I occupy now.

“

That is why I tell people "Do not be afraid of changes. Take chances, invest in yourself and seek your professional and personal happiness."

Being at BMS makes me complete because I can dedicate myself to what is most important for me and my family. That gives me even more strength to go the extra mile for the company and patients. I also appreciate feeling supported as a mother and valued by my directors.
