With 25 years’ experience with big Pharma such as Roche, GSK and Novartis/Sandoz, I come with a strong background in Sales, Marketing, Business Dev, and Market Access. In the last 15 years, I have been directly involved in the launch of complex products in Oncology, Hepatitis , HIV , Immunology , Cardiology, Gastro and Osteoporosis in a wide and complex range of VUCA markets like China, Japan, India, Korea, Brazil, Russia, Canada & Australia. I have a deep understanding of the Originator and Generic Businesses having been embedded for 8 years in Global & Regional Pharma HQ team and in the last 10 years in Country /Cluster Management roles with full P&L & Country operations responsibility. I can be described as a high energy, self-aware, empowering leader who is able to build strong leadership team and instill ambitious vision to the overall organisation. I am not afraid of taking decisions, resolutely focus on delivering superior and consistent results while ensuring strong compliance oversight.
