Roni Thebo Named Working Mother of the Year at Zoetis
Roni Thebo, Director, Global Regulatory Affairs,
Pharmacovigilance, in Zoetis’ Research and Development
organization, was named the company’s Working Mother of the Year.
Roni is mother to four children: Josh, 21; Madison, 19, and Aurelia
and Isaac, 9-year-old twins.
Roni is responsible for a team that manages regulatory
activities associated with the company’s global pharmacovigilance
program. She began her vibrant 24-year career at Zoetis (and its
predecessor companies) as a laboratory technician. Hard work, an
inquisitive mind, and experience in numerous different roles have
contributed to Roni’s career success. “I love a challenge. I’ve
always had a need to continue to grow and change, and Zoetis has
provided a place for me to do that.”
“I am very fortunate to work for an organization that
understands the value of investing in its people so they can
achieve both their professional and personal goals,” said Roni.
“Through Zoetis’ Education Assistance program, I earned an advanced
degree that helped me achieve my current position. But most
importantly, the company has been very supportive of my most
rewarding and impactful role: Mom. Through a host of
family-friendly benefits and flexible work arrangements, I have
been able to not only grow my family, but be actively involved in
my children’s lives.”
Roni is also committed to making a difference in her local
community. She regularly volunteers at a facility dedicated to
Alzheimer's and dementia residents, helps at a homeless shelter,
and serves as a mentor with the Zoetis chapter of Toastmasters.
“We are so proud to see Roni receive this recognition,” said Dr.
Catherine Knupp, Executive Vice President and President, Research
and Development at Zoetis. “Her passion for embracing new
opportunities and enabling others to succeed makes her a great role
model for all our colleagues.”
Zoetis will be recognized at the Working Mother 100 Best
Companies Gala Awards Dinner on Oct. 9th at the Marriott Marquis in
New York City. The event is part of the WorkBeyond Summit 2018 held
from Oct. 8-9.
