About
Leading Strategic Projects in Global Pharma | Focus on Innovation, Operations & Strategic Partnerships | Strategy Consulting & Commercial Analytics Background
I am a proactive leader with 14 years of experience in the global pharmaceutical industry and a background in strategy consulting, commercial insights and analytics, strategic partnerships and digital health. I thrive in ambiguous or novel situations or roles that require innovative problem solving skills: In the past I was co-developing Roche’s biosimilar defense strategy, back when biosimilars were new to the industry. Key insights I generated completely changed the initially planned strategy and led to a manageable and smaller than expected impact to our bottom line. More recently I was involved in shaping the future of healthcare by establishing mutually beneficial partnerships with external health system stakeholders in select geographical markets. I led the development of a Playbook to make these novel types of partnerships replicable in other markets. I also led one of these external partnerships through contract finalization and the start of the implementation phase.
