About

Speaking about (digital) marketing and 🧬Pharma / Healthcare 🔬. 🎭No shiny slides, but 🛠️tangible experiences built to provoke thoughts! 🤝Always enjoying honest discussions about healthcare - send me a message. With two Master’s degrees - Management and Molecular Biotechnology - I bridge the gap between science and marketing to help deliver medicines to patients. And I am convinced by exchanging ideas on LinkedIn we can all get better at this!
