During my tenure I created the vision and strategy for the function, designed and executed a transformation programme to build in additional efficiency and tools to automate workflows within and across functions. My role also offered me the opportunity to be highly involved in the divestment of the Alliance Healthcare business, creation of a JV with McKesson and acquisition of numerous FMCG brands.
My career started with Procter & Gamble where I built my experience and seniority within the IP function until I eventually led the global patent support for the laundry liquid business.
