I am a business development executive with over twenty years of experience covering all aspects of pharmaceutical business development and alliance management.  My clients are life sciences companies in Europe and the US. I am also a Board Member of Domain Therapeutics and the International Brain Research Organization (IBRO), and an Adjunct Professor at the Grenoble School of Management where I teach an advanced Masters course on Business Development.

Prior to establishing my consulting practice, I spent twelve years within Index Ventures, Serono International, and Merck KGaA where, as Global Head of Licensing in neurology, dermatology, and autoimmune diseases, I managed a team of business development professionals and was instrumental in numerous product and technology transactions as well as several startup creations.

I earned a PhD in Neurobiology at the California Institute of Technology before completing a postdoctoral fellowship at the Harvard Business School.  I went on to spend four years with strategic consultancy McKinsey & Company before joining the pharmaceutical industry.
