Joining Abbott as a commercial lead to gain deep APAC experience, my focus is organizational - aligning APAC commercial and operational execution with APAC Strategy, liaising with country general managers and their teams to ensure consistent commercial execution, and building capability not only in-region but across our clients in matters related to effective business execution. Bringing a fresh perspective and genuine customer obsession to the table, my impact has really been to influence a shift from product/ tactical based execution to more of a strategic, solutions-focused approach, centring account management on the creation of deep business relationships that yield substantial customer and business benefits into the future. Examples of this include aligning customer ESG agenda with our offerings to align and augment their business goals.

Pathology Technology Australia (PTA) represents Australian sponsors, manufacturers and distributors of in-vitro diagnostics and innovative pathology technology. Played a transformational role in gaining board support and establish an assertive strategy to increase the industries relevance to the Australian health system. This involved leading intensive stakeholder consultation and facilitation to realign strategy and reengineer PTA’s raison d'etre and better articulate and increase PTA’s voice in accelerating the rapid adoption of innovative technologies by the Australian health system, for improved economic and health outcomes for Australian patients. One of the most notable outcomes is the recognition by the Australian government and media of PTA as an organisation sought out for advice during the pandemic. Through advocacy work and partnerships with leading epidemiologists, PTA played an integral role in the acceptance of rapid antigen test for COVID-19 by the government.

Leveraging strong experience in the diagnostics industry to lead commercialisation and launch in the United States, China and Australia, I prepared and delivered a complete GTM strategy for an innovative start-up, securing the support of more than 40 doctors and Key Opinion Leaders. I recruited third-party organisations to operationalise new routes to market, establishing the logistical and infrastructure support to receive the sample, perform the test and report the results to requesting physicians. I also acquired new funding sources and encouraged a large Australian private pathology provider to administer the test on a patient-pay basis, a key example of first-to-market innovation.
