Prior to Keystone, I worked in the pharmaceutical industry. During my three years at Keystone, I helped develop Keystone’s biotech practice—I was involved in the new business development process, as well as delivering the work to the client. I enjoyed being continuously challenged by everyone in the company to analyze complex topics.

I have brought Keystone’s data-driven approach to my new job at Novartis. Organizations routinely suffer from data overload, yet Keystone taught me to simplify data and summarize key points quickly and efficiently. This has benefited me as I have progressed within Novartis. At Novartis I managed the U.S. Pandemic H1N1Commercial efforts for vaccines, delivering on more than $1 billion in contracts with the U.S. Government. Now I head up U.S. commercial activities for new products and oversee Novartis Vaccine’s Medical Countermeasures partnership with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
