GAIN's Mission

The mission of the Gilead Asian Interest Network (GAIN) is to promote a culture of inclusion and diversity through continual learning. GAIN seeks to bring awareness to the diverse cultures that represent Asian employees and strengthens the voices of its members by:

  • Offering employees access to leadership opportunities
  • Providing opportunities for employees to develop and grow, and to access innovative concepts and unique solutions to challenges at Gilead
In 2017, as an entry-level employee at Gilead, I vividly recall the moment I took the initiative to co-lead and launch Gilead Asian Interest Network (GAIN) despite my lack of experience in leadership at the time. I thought to myself, ‘Why not me?’ Perhaps it was my mentors’ voices that gave me the push I needed.

GAIN has since become my creative outlet for promoting inclusion, networking, and mentoring opportunities, providing me with confidence and a sense of purpose within my community. This journey has not only allowed me to develop my leadership skills and build an amazing team but has also given me a profound sense of belonging and purpose. As I continue to grow at Gilead, my passion lies in giving back, developing talent, and sharing knowledge, inspired by the amazing mentors and opportunities I have encountered along the way.
