About Amgen Our treatment areas Healthcare personnel Our medicines News Research Work with us "Young energy and lively entrepreneurship" - What I think is unique about Amgen is the feeling of a lively entrepreneurship. Despite the fact that we recently turned 40, I experience a genuine innovative power and a willingness on the part of the company to always break new ground, says Karin Järperud, CEO of Amgen Sweden. She likens it to a youthful optimism and a strong belief in the inherent power of innovation. Karin Järperud thinks that she often receives trust from managers upwards in the international organization to do what is best for Sweden, something she believes gives clarity to the expression "freedom under responsibility". - There is no top management and it feels like all ideas are welcome. It may sound cliché, but I have been to other companies before and can compare. Amgen has a culture that welcomes new ways of thinking and there is a desire to challenge. Here you dare to take risks because it is not the whole world to fail. It may even be necessary to move forward. Innovation also benefits from a stated ambition to recruit people with different backgrounds. - Inequality breeds new thinking! People who do not always have an expected background bring with them new ways of tackling problems. It gives energy to groups and for us it has proven to be one of the most important success factors. Collaborative projects are also central, both internally and with external parties. - I am extremely proud of our innovative products, but they are not everything. By collaborating with the health service and other actors, we want through our expert competence to contribute to solving the challenges society faces - not least in healthcare.
