Here I lead a broad corporate affairs function spanning external communications, internal communications, public affairs, patient and advocacy engagement, and investor communications—partnering closely with executive leadership to ensure alignment across narrative, strategy, and business priorities. I serve as a trusted advisor to senior leadership and the C-suite, supporting decision-making across corporate positioning, media strategy, crisis and issues management, and cross-functional alignment with commercial, medical, and development teams.I bring a pragmatic, business-first approach to corporate affairs—ensuring communications not only reflect the strategy, but actively support it.
