What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead global business development in regulated healthcare/clinical research, shaping strategic partnerships, governance, and contract negotiations across multi-country markets. I thrive aligning commercial, operational feasibility, and market access objectives.

I’m a senior commercial leader with deep experience in international, matrixed healthcare environments, where I drive strategic partnerships and governance across multi-market systems. I focus on evaluating and prioritizing tender and contract opportunities, aligning market access, commercial strategy, and portfolio objectives.

In my most recent roles, I’ve led strategic business development within global clinical research organizations and regulated outsourcing contexts. I supported the structuring and negotiation of outsourcing partnerships for clinical development programs, while coordinating cross-functional, multi-country stakeholders to ensure contractual scope, operational feasibility, and client expectations stayed tightly aligned.

Across my career, I’ve built partnerships spanning clinical development, pharmacovigilance, and medical information services, and I’ve supported commercial decision-making across Europe and beyond. From earlier experience in patent landscape intelligence and pharmaceutical field commercialization, to continued development through management-focused education, my approach is always stakeholder-driven, data-informed, and execution-ready.
