What It's Like to Work at Cencora

What first attracted you to Cencora? When did you know it was the right place for you and your career?
I was drawn to Cencora because I wanted to contribute to a company that plays a vital role in improving people’s lives, and there’s no better industry for that than healthcare. The opportunity for growth and development within Cencora was also a significant factor for me, as I am eager to continuously learn and advance my career while making a meaningful impact.

Share one exciting challenge or project you are working on right now. What impact will this have on the business?
I have to share a project that we just recently completed — a global HR transformation project that stands out as the most challenging yet rewarding experience of my career. I played a key role in transforming critical HR processes and technology while successfully integrating a new employee population. This project involved reconfiguring our HR infrastructure and provided an incredible opportunity to witness multiple workstreams collaborating for a global launch, including technology, policy, process, change management, and the HR operating model, truly showcasing the power of teamwork and innovation in achieving our goals.

If your company culture was a car, what would it be, and why?

This was a tough one, but I had to go with a car from a company that represented a true global footprint, embodied innovation, and continuously focused on performance. I landed on comparing Cencora's culture to the Lexus RZ, embodying a global footprint that reflects our widespread impact in the pharmaceutical industry. Just as the Lexus RZ is built on innovation, striving to redefine luxury and sustainability, Cencora prioritizes cutting-edge solutions to enhance healthcare. Furthermore, the performance of the Lexus RZ — smooth, efficient and reliable — mirrors our commitment to excellence and dependability in delivering superior pharmaceutical services worldwide. Together, these elements highlight our dedication to innovation, global reach, and high performance in improving lives.
