CAREER PROFILE

Entrepreneurial executive with a career spanning 30 years and 5 countries, my professional goal is to expand my commercialisation and senior management skills to positively contribute to the life sciences sector. I have a strong belief that commercial considerations must drive early development decisions; thus my career has been built between the scientific and commercial sides of medical technology companies.
Starting in R&D, I have progressed into sales, then after an MBA, into marketing and general management positions across Europe (France, Belgium and in the UK) and more recently in Australia. Along this journey I had the opportunity to manage $50m P&Ls, and teams of up to 20 people for British and US companies, building up a broad set of business management skills
