About Me

My Story

After years of shaping medical and scientific strategy at Roche, SeaGen, and Takeda, I decided it was time to build something of my own. AB Medical Consulting is where I combine my clinical expertise in oncology and hematology with extensive global Medical Affairs, early launch, and market access experience across Europe and the US.
I work with Series B and C biotech companies in the 12 to 24 months before a US or EU filing, when the medical function has to exist before the launch does. My focus is Medical Affairs strategy and leadership, evidence generation and publication planning, KOL engagement, and Medical Information, as a Fractional CMO where a company needs that experience without the full-time overhead. I also bring AI into medical practice in ways that actually make sense.
If you’re looking for sharp insights, pragmatic solutions, and someone who knows the difference between a molecule and a miracle: I am your person.
