About

PhD scientist with 6 years of customer-facing experience in Cell and Gene therapy (CGT), helping customers across diverse segments implement and scale clinical manufacturing workflows. As Global Product Manager for the CliniMACS Prodigy Engineered T cell portfolio, I craft value propositions, equip Sales with differentiated positioning and competitive insight, and engage KOLs and decision-makers to drive adoption of our technologies and workflow solutions. Working across a global matrix without direct authority, I build trusted relationships with customers and cross-functional teams, aligning stakeholders behind shared goals and helping drive the execution that delivers results and, ultimately, impact for patients.
