Vice President, Business Development​ and Scientific Strategy

Anavex is a biopharmaceutical company developing drugs for the treatment of cancer and neurological diseases.

Bringing science and business together, I drive promising strategies and initiatives with lasting results. As a neuroscientist with a PhD in Pharmacology, my background includes years of clinical and pre-clinical research, development of preclinical hypotheses into proven concepts, and supervision of other scientists’ promising projects. In the business world, I have led key projects from discovery to development, assessed and analyzed new opportunities for acquisition and partnering (often with limited resources), cofounded a startup, attracted and secured investments, and played a central role in deal execution. With these combined experiences and skills, I: - Translate ideas into viable commercialization - Break problems apart and create effective solutions - Effectively assess the risks and benefits of potential buyouts/mergers - Identify promising opportunities for partnership - Build collaborative relationships with clients and partners - Create and present realistic, executable timelines and plans for strategic projects - Align and engage teams to highest performance and productivity, and inspire them to achieve key goals It is a privilege to apply my skills and expertise at Anavex and contribute to new and effective biopharmaceutical treatments for debilitating diseases.
