Tell us a bit about yourself 

Hello, my name is Alexis Schmitt, I’m 25 years old and I live in France.

I’m passionate about new technologies and mobile devices.

I’m currently working for Pharma Informatics in the Business Intelligence department in Basel.

I studied Informatics in Strasbourg and I joined Roche in April 2011 for my end-of-study internship. This internship was a chance for me to improve my technical knowledge and to design some reporting solutions. After these six months I applied for an open position in my team and was offered a permanent contract here in Basel. What a nice start for my career!

I moved to Switzerland in July 2012 to take this opportunity with Roche from St Albans, a small city just outside of London. I used to work at Abbott Laboratories in Maidenhead and was responsible for all regulatory clinical trial activities in Europe plus Israel, Russia, Turkey, Ukraine. I worked on products across the entire portfolio but primarily immunology and oncology.

Erzählen Sie uns ein wenig über sich

Mein Name ist Walter Salvador und ich arbeite seit 2008 als Automationsingenieur bei Roche in Basel. Hier bin ich für die Automation in der chemischen Produktion zuständig. Ich bin begeisterter Biker und übe so ziemlich jede Variante des Bike-Sportes aus. Zu den interessanteren Variationen gehören sicherlich Downhill und Biketrial. Beim Biketrial geht es darum, einen Hindernisparcours zu bewältigen. Darüber hinaus gehe ich auch sehr gerne anderen Sportarten wie Squash, Fussball und Tennis nach. Beim Sport und speziell beim Biken kann ich bestens abschalten – die Kombination von technischer Schwierigkeit, körperlicher Fitness und einem tollen Erlebnis in der Natur macht es aus.

Prior to that, I was a research scientist for 25 years. I’ve worked for firms such as Merck, Ciba Geigy and Novartis in a number of departments: Immunology, Oncology, Transplant Research and Imaging Sciences. My first training was as a lab technician, and I completed my education with a PhD in 1986. My career then progressed through various posts, and I have now been working in recruitment for about ten years.

My name is Agata Breś. I come from the beautiful Masuria area of Poland, which is famous for its 2,000 lakes. I lived there until graduating with a bachelor’s degree in computer science. I subsequently earned a master’s degree in software engineering in Germany. I started my professional career at Siemens Healthcare in Bavaria, where I had a pleasure of assisting in the development of a software product used in the treatment of cancer patients. This experience gave me the opportunity to improve both my personal and professional skills. In February 2012, after spending seven years at Siemens, I decided to move to Switzerland to start a new chapter in my life. I began to work for Roche Diagnostics.

My name is Till Dorin. I was born 34 years ago in Cologne and now live in Basel. I joined Roche in January 2008, having come from a consulting company.  My focus was and still is SAP HR Systems.
When I am not at Roche, I spend time with my little family. Coming home has been even more exciting since our little daughter was born in 2010. I love spending time with my friends and enjoying the Rhine in summertime.

My name is Silvia. I‘m in my seventh semester at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland, and currently working as an intern in the HR Marketing department at Roche.

After my Matura, I worked as an assistant for a year before starting my studies. The study programme I’m currently enrolled in is called “International Business Management”. This trinational programme takes place in Germany, France and Switzerland.

Whenever I have some spare time I love to spend it travelling. I enjoy exploring new countries and foreign cultures. In the last two years I was lucky enough to do an internship in San Francisco and take part in a student project where we travelled to Washington D.C., Boston and New York. 

Erzählen Sie uns ein wenig über sich.

Hallo, mein Name ist Tobias Giger, ich bin 36 Jahre alt und lebe mit meiner Partnerin in Luzern.
Seit etwas mehr als 3 Jahren arbeite ich bei Roche Diagnostics in Rotkreuz als Gerätemonteur.
Seit klein an fasziniert mich die Welt der Automobile. Den Grundstein dafür legte wohl mein erstes Spielzeugauto, ein Porsche RSR im Martinilook. :-) 
Meine Passion gehört jedoch nicht nur den 4 Rädern, sondern auch dem Rennrad mit dem ich in meiner Freizeit gerne meine Runden drehe. Die grösste Etappe und zugleich tolles Erlebnis war die Teilnahme an der Marathon Mountain Bike WM 2003 in Lugano. Nebst dem Sport finde ich meine Erholung bei Filmen, Musik, gutem Essen und allem was dazu gehört. In den Ferien fahre ich gerne ans Meer und geniesse Land und Kultur.
