When we began developing our strategic vision for the next five years—to Grow, Simplify and Empower—we knew that servant leadership was the key. We keep challenging ourselves to build a trust-based environment where we can empower our teams to help enable success by removing barriers and addressing concerns. It’s our belief that Leadership isn’t something you do to others, it’s something you do with others – a partnership. We are serious about continuously developing our people and are determined to see them become leaders themselves so that we can win as one BD. Our leadership program plays a big role here, but so does mutual trust and our day-to-day commitments.
Get to know some of our leaders below.

He made a name for himself with the support of managers and peers alike, developing a career blueprint while diving headfirst into roles he sometimes had to learn about on the job, using his skills in management and problem solving to fully embrace each new challenge.

Celine Broutin

VP HR EMEA

Celine is a role model for those wishing to balance home life and work while continuously progressing and leading the transformation of entire business segments. Starting at BD as an HR Trainee Intern while studying at business school in Grenoble, Celine has grown her career and the teams she has led by leaning on her business and HR knowledge. With her career taking her across multiple segments and various geographies – from her hometown in France to the US and Switzerland—she has embraced every opportunity. The enthusiasm and positive attitude of the company only enhanced her passion for progression when on her career journey, leading to big responsibilities and leadership opportunities at the age of only 26, and ultimately to her current role as VP HR EMEA.

A highlight for Celine at BD has been the times when family life seamlessly integrates with work life. The support and integrity her leaders showed when Celine began her family instilled within her a feeling of pride.

Connect with Celine

Being successful here is about being ready to ask for help, recognizing that I don’t know everything, and surrounding myself with the best talent that I can. As long as I keep raising the bar and really strive for excellence, that sets the expectation.

— Celine Broutin, VP HR EMEA

David Clerkin

Senior Engineering & NPI Operations Manager

David loves a challenge. That can mean anything from taking on a senior position soon after joining ClearStream and doubling our capabilities in Enniscorthy when Bard took over to managing a team of 40 once BD took over Bard. David is also currently studying for an MBA in order to delve into the business side of our organization.

With nearly two decades of experience in engineering, David has covered an entire spectrum of work. Using his problem-solving, collaboration, and leadership skills, he has built up an impressive resume. He’s managed and engineered the building of a new site. He’s shown that he is unafraid to take accountability when leading a team through multiple company acquisitions. And he’s dived into one opportunity after another, moving beyond comfort zones to reach results. This is how he has empowered his team. All of this has been possible because of the support from his managers, the trust they have shown in him, and their realization of his potential.

One of my most inspirational leaders at BD is really calm, cool, trusting but stern—when he says stuff, you know he means it.
