Biography
Toshiko Wada began her unique journey 8 years ago as the first female sales manager at Teva Seiyaku in Japan. Despite starting her career at the age of 36 with no previous pharmaceutical experience, Toshiko learned quickly, developed her management skills and built important relationships with healthcare professionals and pharmacists to help promote a better understanding of generic drugs in Japan. Her subsequent promotion to sales office manager was a significant career development achievement, where women in Japan comprise less than 1% of all Medical Representatives in managerial positions. When her former company was acquired by the Teva Group in 2012, Toshiko and her colleagues enjoyed greater professional opportunities, improved benefits and a friendlier work environment for everyone, including maternity leaves and allowances for employees working away from their family.
