I am a Strategic Alliance and Business Development professional with a PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and over ten years' experience across biopharmaceutical research, external innovation, and global marketing.

I have evaluated 100+ BD and M&A opportunities and led scientific and technical due diligence for plasma‑derived therapies, biologics, vaccines, and rare disease programs.

In corporate roles I’ve managed cross‑functional alliance governance and lifecycle strategies, supporting product continuity across 80+ markets and readiness for partnership integrations.

I combine scientific rigor with commercial insight to drive partner governance, competitive intelligence, portfolio prioritization, and cross‑functional execution that advance strategic corporate objectives.
