Biography
Medical Affairs Manager with responsibilities in the areas of Falsified Medicines and Pharmacovigilance. Under my lead, we negotiated the membership of our association with the European Medicines Verification Organisation “EMVO” (a project costing about € 100 million / year) and I managed to reason the European Medicines Agency and National Competent Authorities on fees to be charged for pharmacovigilance services. In my life before the association, I worked in the pharmaceutical industry providing pharmacovigilance consultancy and in the medical device industry liaising with Key Opinion Leaders. I combined these roles while working weekends in a community pharmacy. I am now complementing my scientific knowledge as pharmacists with an MBA at “Solvay Brussels School of Economics and Management” and “École des Ponts Business School”.
