Hi. My name is Kei Keto. I'm Head of Purchasing in Japan. I joined Boehringer Ingelheim just one year ago. My career has always been purchasing over 20 years in different industries like automotive, Investment Bank, and Pharma, where I was actually enjoying to show what purchasing can do for the companies by driving change management before I joined Boehringer Ingelheim. I'm actually based in Tokyo Bay Area and Tokyo is the city with full of energy. My morning routine is just go for a nice run between skyscrapers and the sea so that I can gain this great energy rise in Tokyo in the morning just to kick off my day. The reason why you should join Boehringer Ingelheim is you will be surrounded by great opportunities. For example, there are so many cross-functional projects running just to seek for value for innovation everywhere so that you always have a chance to work beyond your job description where you can provide your leadership.
 

The best thing about Boehringer Ingelheim is actually the people. We work together as one team with a great integrity and passion, seeking for what's more meaningful for the company, which gives me a lot of motivation every day. If I sum up a career in Boehringer Ingelheim by three words, that is intensive and exciting.
