Compelling storytelling underlies everything I do as a results-driven, award-winning senior pharma/healthcare comms strategist. Over the course of my more than 25 years of deep, hands-on, executive level experience, I've earned a track record of delivering strong business results at highly fluid, matrixed U.S., international and global corporate and agency environments. My focus on driving companies forward, especially those with gaps and/or at critical moments of risk or opportunity, has helped propel them to achieve their goals and create committed, purpose-driven workplace cultures. Known and respected as a high-impact, creative, team player and trusted advisor to the C-level, I enjoy driving sustainable, measurable, results for products, scientific pipelines, executives, and corporate reputations. I thrive in fast-paced environments whether the company is comprised of 120 employees or 120,000. My experiences living and working abroad have provided me with a global and inclusive mindset, which I translate into how I approach my work. I am an advocate of authentic employee engagement and believe that all effective communications start with compelling storytelling. Notable therapeutic area experience spans vaccines, rare diseases, neuroscience, ophthalmology and G.I.
