We are a global organization present in the U.S., Europe and Asia with colleagues located in several additional countries to strategically support our business needs. But our people, and the culture they build, are the foundation that sets GDO apart. Our belief in putting people first extends beyond patients. It includes their families and communities, and also our Takeda colleagues and our families.

  • Advance clinical research

  • Deliver clinical analytics and study insights using innovative technologies to improve trial accessibility and patient centricity

  • Enable end-to-end management of clinical supply

One of the main reasons I came to Takeda is because of the people I would be working for.We all use PTRB as our North Star. I think that makes it easier to delegate decisions and empower each level of the organization to contribute in a meaningful way.
