Our People

We Are Elanco
Our people advocate for our customers and uphold our core Elanco values, vision, promise, and purpose-driven culture.
What drew me here 31 years ago is what fuels me still every day. I still remember standing at the Indianapolis airport on a payphone calling home to my dad after my interview. I didn't even really know what culture was back then, but it's what I described. The people, the strong community, the humility I felt, the entrepreneurial spirit, the laughter in the hallways, the love for the customer and industry.
— Jeff Simmons, Elanco President and CEO

Kim Baker

“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.”
Lucy Dias

“ 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.”
