Anna Mulock Houwer Email & Phone Number

I’m a Lisbon-based board director and advisor with deep expertise in commercial strategy, marketing and selling, new product launches and business growth. Ex-PepsiCo and Novartis, and as the founder of three boutique consultancies I’ve built an international consulting career helping multinationals in Consumer Healthcare, Life Sciences and Medtech launch, scale, and accelerate products and businesses. I have counted some of the top players in health and CPG among my clients including AstraZeneca, Alcon, Biogen, B Braun, Chiesi, Danone, Fresenius, Merck, Medtronic, Novartis, Takeda, Teva and others. I have worked with these companies to develop global stratplans and local operating plans, shape channel, category and marketing strategies, launch global products and brands, create and deploy headquarters-led commercial initiatives, build marketing capability, and facilitate journeys of high-performing teams. Senior leaders call me ‘Rocket Booster’ because I both talk strategy AND inject focused energy to get actions and results. Right now I am interested in serving in the advisory, mentoring and board roles - whether profit or non-profit - that align with 1. life sciences/healthcare/healthtech/consumer health or 2. women’s progress/advancement/leadership. It would be a privilege to focus on a cause that demands urgent attention and innovation (for example: Women’s Health).For startups and scaleups: My C-suite and senior leader network, concentrated in Europe and the US, is both high-value and personal - I connect businesses to investors and partners who know and trust me. This network is a catalyst for growth, enabling me to open doors for founders/CEOs looking for business development, fundraising, clinical trials, strategic partnerships, and successful exits.Off-duty: I am a mom of two boys, a skier, Portugal enthusiast (instagram @bruxellesblonde), and a poet (www.loveandlisbon.com).

Listed skills include Strategy, Marketing, Marketing Management, Pharmaceutical Industry, and 38 others.
