Associate Consultant for Market Access & Health Policy, helping Pharmaceutical and Biotech companies translate policy and payer signals into pricing, access and reimbursement decisions. I worked on cross-country stakeholder research, informing market‑access strategies for complex therapies (rare disease, gene therapy, oncology, hematology).
