Employment history
Actelion Pharmaceuticals, Ltd
Basel, Switzerland

2007  2012                                         Global Business & Science Affairs
                                                    Senior Life Cycle Project Manager

In this position I authored protocols, developed target product profiles, co-authored
clinical development plans, and conducted independent market research in parallel to
grappling with moving targets and maintaining both team focus & morale. Working with
no direct reports and within a matrix environment composed of members from almost
every other internal department and potentially representatives of external partners, my
professional function was to lead & support the Life Cycle Team as it drove programs
forward through to the market respecting the limits set by the characteristics of each
compound, the supporting fundamental sciences, the competitive environment, patent
protection, the annual budget and Actelion's corporate vision. GB&SA was charged with
the task of strategically linking apt, innovative research to both the needs of future
prescribers and the continued growth of Actelion by bringing novel agents which address
unmet medical needs robustly to the market in the timeliest manner.

2003 - 2006                                         Technical Operations
                                                    Clinical Trials Supplies Manager

Upon joining Actelion, CTS management was a nascent competence and my remit extended
well beyond negotiating cost efficient, timely packaging & delivery of QP released supplies
globally in support of Actelion's growing number of clinical trials. In addition to liaising
between the clinical teams and the 3rd party providers, I was charged with multiple tasks in
building the CTS unit, e.g. writing the first SOPs, establishing global distribution networks,
creating & implementing the first interdepartmental software which was used to monitor CTS
stocks globally, initiate, track & trace shipments and record compliant returns & destruction
prior to study closure. I was also responsible for the recruitment and training of new
employees who eventually replaced the previous team under my guidance.

2001 - 2003                                                Client Services
                                                           Global Project Manager

As my first professional experience in Switzerland this position made use of my ability to
speak multiple languages, consult, pitch & negotiate contracts with potential clients in the
pharmaceutical industry, identify & satisfy customer needs, understand & coordinate
internally across all departments & functions to ensure both GMP compliance and the
timely internal release of packaged materials within budget, and liaise with both the US
head office and UK affiliate.

In my role as a Senior Life Cycle Project Manager I led the multi-disciplined life cycle
teams for cadazolid, olesoxime and the ponesimod follow-up compound while having
provided assistance to the life cycle teams charged with the development of ponesimod,
an anti-hypertensive and Zavesca速 (miglustat).

This cross-functional leadership role encompasses: setting & adhering to the annual
budget, drafting, finalizing & adapting the integrated project plans, execution of
development strategy, identification of development hurdles & market opportunities,
generation, review & updating of most critical core documentation, setting & achieving
project goals, matrix management, challenge & defense of corporate strategy.

I have worked with multiple drug candidates & marketed products from a wide array of
molecular targets employing different formulations across numerous indications in
development stages: Phase I, II, III, and IV.

In particular both the olesoxime and ponesimod projects were managed while in
partnerships with both Trophos SA and Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd respectively.

Working with no direct reports and within a matrix environment composed of members from almost every other internal department and potentially representatives of external partners, my professional function was to lead & support the Life Cycle Team as it drove programs forward through to the market respecting the limits set by the characteristics of each compound, the supporting fundamental sciences, the competitive environment, patent protection, the annual budget and Actelion's corporate vision. GB&SA was charged with the task of strategically linking apt, innovative research to both the needs of future prescribers and the continued growth of Actelion by bringing novel agents which address unmet medical needs robustly to the market in the timeliest manner. 2003 - 2006 Technical Operations Clinical Trials Supplies Manager Upon joining Actelion, CTS management was a nascent competence and my remit extended well beyond negotiating cost efficient, timely packaging & delivery of QP released supplies globally in support of Actelion's growing number of clinical trials. In addition to liaising between the clinical teams and the 3rd party providers, I was charged with multiple tasks in building the CTS unit, e.g. writing the first SOPs, establishing global distribution networks, creating & implementing the first interdepartmental software which was used to monitor CTS stocks globally, initiate, track & trace shipments and record compliant returns & destruction prior to study closure. I was also responsible for the recruitment and training of new employees who eventually replaced the previous team under my guidance.
