  As a business leader in the Biotechnology/Pharmaceutical Industry with extensive experience in launch and life cycle management and a breadth of understanding in Sales, Marketing, Market Access, Medical, Government Relations and Regulatory, I lead organizations to realize accelerated growth through optimized business strategies, organizational design and people development. I am known for building alignment through a collaborative approach, leveraging strong interpersonal skills to engage, motivate and encourage others to exceed business and personal goals.

  I am passionate about Health Care and Biotechnology and building dynamic companies through:

  • Creating organizational cultures that support leadership at all levels, through education, empowerment and organizational readiness.
  • Developing strong, collaborative partnerships, both locally and globally, with key internal and external senior stakeholders.
  • Global competence in contributing to business growth in Canada, Europe and the United States.
  • An entrepreneurial and innovative mindset that delivers differentiated and sustainable value by developing strong external partnerships and forging strategic alliances.
  • A proven strategic mindset through product, therapeutic area and program launches
  • A commitment to healthcare and patient outcomes.

  This commitment goes beyond my business role, as I also contribute to organizational and people growth as an active participant on a variety of Boards, advisory positions to startup organizations and through leadership development and mentoring. My leadership philosophy is based on engaging, empowering and encouraging success through people; it is through inspired people that you exceed your business goals.
