What do you consider your strengths?

Over the years working at a number of multi-national information service companies with leading secondary life science intelligence databases, I have developed a strong understanding of what the biopharma sector needs to ensure they have a strong grasp of the competitive landscape they compete in.

I have collaborated with various internal stakeholders, including product development, marketing, sales, and solution consultants across a number of projects and objectives simultaneously. This has enabled me to project manage a number of engagements at Deallus seamlessly. I also enjoy nurturing, empowering, and coaching the talented researchers we have, ensuring that they evolve into the next generation of project managers.

Coming in from organisations where it was very SOP driven, Deallus nurtures an environment that it is very much learning on-the-job and through internal networking. The flat hierarchy ensures that senior management are very approachable and supportive of growth plan development and execution. Developing my TA knowledge on our engagements has enabled me to become a credible partner for our clients, helping them to understand and navigate the complex environments their assets compete in.

Life outside of work

My wife and two girls keep me very busy and every opportunity I have with them, I like to venture through new forests and go on weekend trips to the coast. I am still adapting to our new rabbit, confusingly named Teddy, and the occasional 11-a-side football also keeps me out of the house.
