Vanessa Vertiz (F)
MD Merck Peru & General Manager Biopharma
At Merck we are convinced that talent must be accepted and attracted wherever it comes from, regardless of gender, nationality, sexual orientation, age or other differences. Furthermore, we discovered that diversity is extremely positive for the business, as we take advantage of different thoughts, contexts and experiences as a lever for innovation. Gender equality is a reality in our organization not only in general rates, but also among senior management with a majority of women in leadership positions, as well as with equal opportunities and treatment for all. Furthermore, we have specific strategies to address unconscious biases, which we consider to be the greatest deactivator of diversity
