Editorial Pharmaceutical Industry Review, April No 2 (95) 2023
Two representatives of the pharmaceutical company FITOFARM shared their experience. They have different carriers, experiences, and inspirations. Yaryna Yurynets worked in a number of areas and companies. Tetyana Ponomarenko started her career at FITOFARM and was promoted within the same company.
– What was your professional carreer?
– I started my career as a first assistant in a pharmacy. I remember how medical representatives came to us. I liked their work and lifestyle so much that I wanted to try myself in this role. It was a long period of study, but I succeeded – I became a representative of one of the local companies. Subsequently, there was an internal competition to fill the vacancy of a marketer. I was lucky because candidates with pharmaceutical education were preferred. Then I wanted to get an experience in international pharmaceutical company, where I was able to fill the position of manager of the marketing department. In addition to constant professional development in the field of pharmacy, I had to get the knowledge of marketing. And already in the company FITOFARM I started my career as a manager of strategic marketing. This was a very important step forward for me. Now I manage the strategic marketing department and take on current challenges side by side with the team every day. – Yaryna Yurynets.
– After graduation in 1977, I got a position in the packaging shop at Artemivsk pharmaceutical factory, where I worked for 10 years. When a position of analytical chemist in the laboratory of the quality control department became available, I was invited to work in this capacity. This experience lasted for almost 12 years. Then I was promoted to the position of the head of the quality control department, I still

head it today. When I entered the university, I was supposed to work in a pharmacy, but by chance I went to work in production. And I still don't regret it. – Tetyana Ponomarenko.
What skills are needed to succeed in the pharmaceutical field?
– First of all, you have to love what you do. This applies to all the spheres, not only pharma. It is important to be respectful of both the process and those you are doing it for. In addition, patience and perseverance are required. It is necessary to be able to find common points of intersection with each person. And, as in any profession, you should use your own approaches. – Tetyana Ponomarenko.
– Knowledge of English is mandatory. Now Ukraine is becoming a part of Europe, so you need to know English. Everything else can be gained in the process of studying and working. – Yaryna Yurynets.
– Would you like to name any women in our field who inspired you?
– I often compared my actions with those of Lydia Oleksiivna Makogon, the head of the quality control department, under whose leadership I worked. And I also remember that not everyone was able to analyze buckthorn extract the first time, but if Galina Vasylivna Zubenko did it, she always achieved a guaranteed result. We worked with her in the same team, I learned the intricacies of the profession

from her. And there are many such people. Each person has their own strong points. – Tetyana Ponomarenko.
– I can't say about an individual person – it's more of a collective image. In my life, I have met several successful women who are now in leadership positions, and each
