🎉 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀: 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗴𝘂𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝘄𝗶𝘁𝘇𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗷𝗼𝗯 🎉 I’m thrilled to share that I’ve started a new role as 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿, 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀 at argenx. I’m incredibly excited to get stuck in with a brilliant team at a brilliant company — where science, purpose, and creativity come together to make a real difference — and to play a small part in delivering innovative solutions for people living with rare autoimmune diseases. A big shout-out to a few legends whose support made this possible: • Jean-Charles Fontaine, for the warm welcome and early support as I settled into life in Switzerland • Sean McMonagle, for the introduction to the below legend and general great pep talks • Loetitia T., for the introduction to the below legend and excellent Swiss life insights • Laure Darbellay, for trusting me with this incredible opportunity at 𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘅 As you can see from the above, this experience has been a real reminder of how powerful networking can be — not just for finding opportunities, but for gaining perspective, support, and encouragement along the way. Every message, introduction, or quick coffee chat genuinely helped move things forward, and I’m incredibly grateful for that. A heartfelt thank you also to my family and friends for their constant love and support throughout the journey. Now… time to dust off my inbox etiquette and start decoding medical acronyms!
