Roise Filling | Vice President, Senior Global Head R&D Operations | Endo International

In her over 25 years of experience, Rosalie “Rosie” Filling has transformed R&D operations in every company she has worked for, developing clear-cut strategies to help advance clinical trials with high-quality operational execution and scientific excellence. Rosie’s main focus at all times is on the end users—the patients.

Rosie has established herself as a powerful thought leader within the companies she has worked and the industry overall. For the past six years, she has been invited by John Hopkins University to speak to their Ph.D. candidates about careers within the pharmaceutical industry. Over the course of her career, Rosie has also been an active contributor to many FDA applications, each indicating a significant milestone in the process of obtaining regulatory approval for a pharmaceutical product.

Rosie came to understand firsthand the impact that cancer can have on a person when she discovered that she had breast cancer in 2020. While everyone was reeling from the COVID-19 pandemic, Rosie dealt with this additional personal emergency. After multiple surgical procedures and a doubled chemotherapy regime due to COVID-19 restrictions she is on the road to recovery. Her experience has made her even more committed to making a positive impact and improving patients’ lives.

Rosie is a wife and mother of two young women. In her spare time, you can find her with her family, spinning or hiking. Rosie earned her B.S. in Biology with a minor in Chemistry from the University of Pittsburgh.
