Ana-Maria Boie, President of Boehringer Ingelheim Korea and mentor of the Women in Korea (WIR) program by the Korean-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KGCCI), recently shared her leadership insights on the Korean market in an interview with Luxury. She reflected on how she has opened new doors in the traditionally conservative pharmaceutical industry.
Starting her career as a physician in Romania and later working across Europe, Russia, and Germany before taking on the Korean market, she emphasized the importance of consistently upholding a people-centered leadership approach. She highlighted her commitment to improving healthcare accessibility as a key leadership principle and described innovation not as a cost, but as an investment in the future. Boie also outlined her vision for fostering an organizational culture where employees can take initiative and grow, creating an environment that balances psychological safety with accountability, and advancing sustainability strategies grounded in DE&I.
