Always passionate about the not-for-profit sector and the role they play in advancing Society, early in my career I developed expertise in patient engagement, which led me to a position with the US based National MS Society. Here I learned the power of the patient voice. I am driven to ensure this voice is always considered, always respected, and that the rules, policies, and ways of working allow for this voice to be at the table- in every room, across the world. After 25 years in health care and the not-for-profit sector, working from local level to international roles, I joined Sanofi in 2012. I have overseen our Public Affairs activities for Neurology, led our Patient Engagement Strategy for the Specialty Care Business Unit, and moved last year to Brussels, and the Corporate Affairs Team. Currently, I oversee the development and implementation of a comprehensive and strategic patient community engagement platform across the enterprise. My responsibility is to create the framework, infrastructure, ways of working, and tools and resources, with accountability for leading the change management needed to move from patient centricity to integrated patient engagement.
