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.
