3 examples from Pharma and Medtech
Throughout my career, I have taken on diverse roles across multiple subjects and sectors. My work is supported by a strong foundation, including two Master of Science degrees—one in Biochemistry (1996) and another in Science Communication (2000). Below are three examples from the life sciences sector, each representing different periods in my professional journey:
1) IKEM – Innovation and Chemical Industries in Sweden
At IKEM, I served as project leader on two European projects co-funded by the EU. In the IRISS project, I planned an early career researchers’ event focused on safe and sustainable design, collaborating with international colleagues to ensure its success.
In the ChemSkills project, a four-year initiative aimed at enabling the green and digital skills transformation of the European chemical industry, I was IKEM’s project leader. This project spans six sub-sectors, with IKEM responsible for the pharmaceuticals sector. While I am no longer employed at IKEM, I will continue to be involved as an external consultant.
2) Medtech4Health
As Head of Communication for the first 3.5 years of the Medtech4Health programme, I was responsible for building and executing all communication strategies. This involved traveling across Sweden to present the programme’s offerings and leading initiatives like the Innovation Award.
Medtech4Health is a strategic innovation programme focused on advancing medical technology and driving innovation in healthcare. During external evaluations, the programme’s communication efforts were highly praised, reflecting the effectiveness of the strategies I implemented.
3) AstraZeneca
During my five years at AstraZeneca, the British-Swedish pharmaceutical giant, I held several roles in HR, including Associate Director. I was accountable for AstraZeneca’s employer brand in Sweden and played a key role in shaping the company’s future approach to attracting and recruiting talent based on market intelligence.
My team was responsible for key areas such as recruitment marketing, employer branding, graduate strategy, and the induction process, ensuring that AstraZeneca remained a competitive and attractive employer in the industry.
I Deliver Results
In between the experience mentioned above I have also completed several other projects and/or employements (and a pile of books). The projects includes shorter assignments for small medtech companies, focusing on marketing strategies.
These varied experiences across different sectors reflect my versatility and adaptability. I am ready to use my experience to make an impact in new surroundings. If this sound interesting, do not hesitate to get in touch.
