Our People

General Manager, Australia & New Zealand

“I love seeing our teams and customers in the sector thrive through innovation (both ours and theirs) and stepping up to address challenges such as climate change.”

Assistant General Counsel – Australia and NZ

"The global nature of Elanco brings richness to our roles with the opportunity to work with colleagues and external business partners across multiple countries and cultures.  It also offers opportunities to lead within functions, and across the organisation, so all employees are encouraged to lead in some way."

Director, Study Management Australia

 “The work that we conduct at Yarrandoo is built on high quality standards and a focus on animal welfare in order for us to deliver studies suitable for submission to all registration authorities globally. Our team is highly motivated, flexible and has a “can-do” attitude. Every day is different as we work with a number of different species and study types right across the farm animal and pet health pipeline.  This is what makes my role exciting and challenging.”

Senior Director APAC Affiliate Quality

“ Engagement means enjoying doing what needs to be done in a working environment that is fun and collaborative. My team also know that if they deliver the results on time then how they use their time is for them to manage.  I believe it’s also important to be ‘present’ and to be honest.”

Senior Director Elanco External Manufacturing, APAC. 

“When asked what keeps me at Elanco after 30 plus years there are a couple of reasons – the animal health industry and the part Elanco plays in it, and the opportunities for professional growth.  Mostly though, it is working with smart and passionate people every day across so many diverse geographies and cultures.  All that, while living 5 minutes from my favorite surf beach.”

Executive Director Clinical Development Sciences.  

“I strive for excellence in animal health because I am very passionate about animal science and welfare, and am fascinated by the complexity of dealing with multiple species.”

HR Director ANZ.  

“I love working for a cause driven organisation where people at every level of the organisation are encouraged to make a difference!”
