What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an agency role where I can lead healthcare accounts, improve operations, mentor teams, drive launches, and make measurable client impact.

I am a strategically minded account director with eight years' experience in healthcare advertising, partnering with pharmaceutical and medical device clients on global launches, omnichannel campaigns, internal engagement, events, and sales enablement. I bring structure, clarity and bold thinking to complex challenges, and I thrive on collaborating with talented teams to develop creatively disruptive solutions that prioritise patient outcomes.

My track record includes supporting $1M+ accounts, scaling an agency’s first healthcare account to £750K and a six-person team, improving internal operations through platform and process implementation, and building strong client relationships that drive repeat business and successful pitches. I am seeking an agency culture where I can continue to grow, lead and make a meaningful impact.
