Quote
If it is to be, it is up to me.
William H Johnsen
Summary
I am a/an..
- Ambivert; I can effectively flex from an independent contributor, to an active collaborator, or engaged leader.
- Straight talker; I call a spade a spade, but with tact.
- Listener/Watcher; it is almost second nature for me to hear and see the unspoken.
Working with me, you can expect
- Thought processes backed by over 20 years of working experience; 9 in Medical Affairs, 8 in pharmacy-related & business development roles, and 7 in scientific publishing.
- People-focused approach on tackling tasks; because behind every successful project is a team of great people.
- Pragmatic problem solver and implementer; dreams and visions are nought until concrete action steps are taken.
- Balanced curiousity; because new results call for new methods, and open-minds are essential to explore new methods.
In an alternate, parallel universe, I am an organisational psychologist who performs in broadway musicals and keeps french bulldogs and pugs as fur babies.
