With over 12 years of experience in the pharma and biotech industry, I have led cross-functional teams and initiatives to bring innovative and impactful solutions to clients across the globe.

Previously, I was the Senior Director of Clinical Solutions Consulting at Citeline where I led a pre-sales and go to market strategy team that launched solutions leveraging real world data to optimize clinical trial design and execution. As Head of Commercialization for Patient Engagement and Recruitment at Citeline, I established and grew revenue for a new brand (Citeline Connect) that finds, educates, engages, and enrolls clinical trial participants globally. I have also held various roles in strategic partnerships, go to market strategy, R&D management consulting, solutions consulting, and sales at Citeline, Accenture and Thomson Reuters (now Clarivate Analytics), where I established and nurtured long-term relationships with key stakeholders and partners, drove revenue growth and market expansion, and supported M&A activity. I have a strong background in biochemistry, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical sciences, with a bachelor’s and a master’s degree from Northeastern University. I recently completed the Chief Marketing Officer Program at Kellogg School of Management, which enhanced my skills in strategic marketing, product launch, branding, customer-centricity, and leadership.
