Employee Spotlights
As we grow and evolve as an organization, we asked employees:
What inspires you to go further?
“I am inspired by working in a positive culture where values are truly lived—an environment where the ‘how’ is every bit as important as the ‘what.’ Working collaboratively alongside like-minded and talented colleagues, I feel we are all part of one team working toward a single, patient-focused purpose…and that inspires me to go further.”
Scott Hands
Head of Sales, UK, Ireland, Belgium, Netherlands
“I’m inspired by the families who are hoping for therapies for diseases that currently have no treatments. In gene therapy process development and manufacturing, our rigor, scalability, and execution determine whether that hope becomes reality. I feel a deep responsibility to steward my expertise and talent fully, in service to the patients who are counting on us.”
Joseph Oloo
Associate Director, Upstream Process Development
“‘Further,’ to me, reflects the limitless opportunities for growth and continued contribution at Insmed. All of my colleagues can enjoy these opportunities, regardless of role. I believe that by working together and collectively going further, we can deliver groundbreaking science that has the potential to transform lives.”
Takahiro Senda
Senior Director, Commercial Effectiveness, Japan
“I’m inspired by the opportunity to build something enduring—where innovation, collaboration, and purpose come together to create meaningful impact for patients. The collective ambition to continuously redefine what’s possible challenges us to think bigger and raise the bar for what we can achieve together.”
Jamie Gordon
Global Commercial Lead, ARIKAYCE
“What inspires me most is our unwavering commitment to patient-focused therapies, which helps ensure that every breakthrough we achieve directly translates into better care for those we serve. Our mission is fueled by our collaborative and supportive corporate culture, where a shared passion for innovation drives us to push boundaries and evolve together.”
Lisa Schildhorn
Senior Manager, Contracting Operations, Legal
Impact
Strengthening our community support
As a company dedicated to transforming lives, our responsibility to the world around us is ingrained in our culture. We continually aspire to serve as a role model within our industry, not only for how we operate our core business but also for the impact we strive to make on our communities and on the environment.
Throughout 2025, as our business grew, we significantly expanded our support for the communities where we live and work. Through both company- and employee-led efforts, we tackled some of the most pressing local needs in the areas of health, education, and human services. Our fourth annual Global Day of Good – Insmed’s signature giveback event where employees step away from their day-to-day work to volunteer simultaneously around the world – took place in November and drew more than 1,200 employee volunteers, making it our largest event yet. We also launched Invironment, a new employee resource group focused on environmental sustainability. The group has already begun working to support our local communities in improving environmental sustainability and educating employees around climate resilience and ways to incorporate environmental considerations into their business activities.
In December, we were honored that our efforts throughout the year led to us receiving the NJBIZ Corporate Citizen of the Year award. This recognition celebrates the companies making a meaningful impact in New Jersey through community service, stewardship, and commitment. We’re proud that 92% of Insmed employees agree that giving back to the community is an important part of our organization’s culture.
We encourage you to read our Responsibility Report, published annually, which provides more details on how Insmed upholds our commitments to all stakeholders.
