My journey started with Shell before partnering with C-suite leaders in Drug Discovery, across Drug Development, Global Functions, and Marketing at Novartis. More recently I have consulted with select, exciting small to mid-cap Biotech and CDMOs.

Throughout this, I have worked with coaches to support my growth, garner candid insights, and develop my ability to help others grow.
With extensive experience in biotech and pharma, I understand the unique challenges and opportunities you face. My specialized coaching is designed to address industry-specific issues, from building a culture of innovation, complexities of the matrix, to the demands of program management.

I have had the privilege of hiring, partnering with, and coaching many preeminent scientific leaders. This experience built a deep understanding of the technical, leadership, and cultural qualities needed for executive leaders to truly flourish.
