Saluting Our Veterans
Bob Bradway
I’m excited to be leading Amgen as we harness dramatic advances in science and technology to serve patients suffering from serious diseases.
On this Veterans Day, I want to thank the many 安进 employees who have served in the armed forces.?They are a source of real strength for our company – mission driven, highly diverse, and extremely team oriented.?Since 2018, Amgen has tripled the number of veterans we hire annually and we’ve been recognized for several years in a row as a “Best for Vets” employer by the Military Times. You can meet many of our Amgen veterans here .??
Earlier this week, the Amgen Veterans Employee Network hosted a virtual event featuring two very special guests: Major Katie Cook and actor Robert De Niro.
Katie is one of the very few female Marine aviators to fly combat missions in Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom and she later became the first female pilot in the history of the legendary U.S. Navy Blue Angels.?She encouraged Amgen women to find a mentor who can advocate on their behalf for new opportunities and offer support and guidance in overcoming challenges.
Robert has long been an ally to the veterans community, having appeared in several military-themed films. ?He said he is reluctant to use the phrase “Thank you for your service” when speaking to veterans because he believes we owe them so much more than just our gratitude.???
If you’re a veteran interested in working for a mission-driven company, I invite you to?explore career opportunities at Amgen .?
