I am now back running regularly again. I ran the Rotterdam Marathon a few years ago and nearly got run over by a tram, fast approaching behind me, as I walked back to the hotel!

I worked in preclinical drug discovery at the start of my career. More recently, I was working as an executive search consultant and practice lead for a global healthcare firm.

I joined Prescient as a senior primary researcher, a role that enables me to use my solid interpersonal skills and make a difference in the development of new cutting-edge therapies.

I conduct primary research by interviewing respondents via phone, and I write up their insightful comments for the project teams.

I have been impressed by the strong, collective team spirit across Prescient, as well as the accessibility of the senior management team members to support us all.

Getting an insightful interview after several attempts.

I feel warm respect as a colleague within the Prescient family and for primary research.

As we are all currently working remotely, I have learned some good strategies for team building in this setting.

I help project teams conduct primary research more effectively and assist pharmaceutical companies in de-risking their clinical and commercial development projects.

Warm, supportive and committed team-based culture.

Traveling, learning new languages and learning about interventions to tackle global north-south health inequality.

I worked in market research, real-world research and consulting within the healthcare and life sciences sector, focusing on the Asia-Pacific markets (Kantar Health, Oliver Wyman in Singapore), as well as academic research in global health policy while based in LSE (UK).

For the opportunity to work with smart, dependable, go-getter colleagues, while growing individually and professionally in the global life sciences/pharmaceutical field.

I foster a learning-focused and team-oriented work environment that ensures my team members will have what they need to deliver the most impactful insights, and I manage and plan streams of workloads, continuously growing the Primary Research Center into a Center of Excellence that all Prescient colleagues can rely on.

Having a daily end-of-day catch-up with my team to discuss the day’s work and brainstorm ideas to tackle primary research challenges together.

The space to grow my leadership skills while maximizing the use of my organizational, research and project management capabilities.
