A short introduction

I'm a Global Product Manager in Immunotherapy with a strong scientific background and hands-on experience across the cell and gene therapy field — from clinical manufacturing on the bench to platform strategy at the global level.

I thrive in fast-paced, innovation-driven environments where interdisciplinary teams move ideas from concept to launch. My favourite problems are the ones at the intersection of science, operations and the patient — the kind that take a great team to solve well.
