As a senior communications strategist with 30 years of experience, I am a trusted advisor to many international companies in their pursuit to deliver innovative medicines to patients around the world. Over the past three decades, I have worked in Canada and the United Kingdom (Europe and international mandates) supporting corporate and brand communications in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sector. Since 2011, I have run a consulting agency focused on corporate reputation, issues management, brand launches, patient advisory panels and change management. Client assignments include providing industry and environmental insights, establishing strategic relationships with internal and external stakeholders, supervising media relations strategy and national implementation. As an advisor to many international companies, my consulting extends into clients in Canada, South America and the Middle East. Through secondment and in-house contracts at global pharmaceutical companies, my experience has included the corporate affairs role in senior leadership team meetings, corporate and brand issues management teams, and liaison with medical, regulatory affairs and legal teams. These roles honed skills to work in a matrixed organization with ability to influence across integrated teams. Additionally, I have executed internal communications for milestones, patient events, brand launch meetings, company town halls, and managed external public relations and communications agencies.
