Experience

International market insight, strategic thinking, and hands-on execution – this is the foundation of my entrepreneurial approach.

My international career includes markets such as Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Australia, Canada, France, Latin America, the USA, and Central and Eastern Europe, including Russia. For over two decades, I have held various commercial roles – from finance and sales to marketing and global partner management – at renowned companies like Takeda, Novartis, Eisai, Merck, Astellas, Mundipharma, and AOP Health. As a Marketing Lead Austria at Mundipharma, I took over responsibility for relaunching the generic medicines division and led the launch of the first biosimilar of NEULASTA® (=PELMEG) in  2 EU countries. Later, as Alliance Lead for CEE and Emerging Markets, I developed and expanded partnerships in over 10 countries. Most recently, I led the global expansion of AOP Pharmaceuticals from its global HQ in Austria and was responsible for the performance of 13 partner markets, including Australia, the USA, Latin America, and Russia. This diverse experience enables me to combine global perspectives with local precision. For me, experience is not about looking back – it is a competitive advantage we actively use to drive your market success.
