About me
Hi, I’m Sian - a Global Medical Director who started out in a medical communications agency life about 20 years ago. My first gig was as a medical writer, and later I became an editorial director. Oh, and I’m an introvert! So, while I may not fit the typical corporate/Pharma success mould, I think that’s actually a strength.
Agency experience, in my (slightly biased) opinion, is an amazing launchpad for Pharma. I can write papers, I know compliance inside out, and pitching taught me how to dream up creative ideas at lightning speed. I’ve worked across countless therapy areas, upskilled myself fast, and picked up a broad range of skills beyond medical communications—like advanced video editing, social media planning, and even building websites.
And here’s the thing—I know I’m not the only one. If you’re here, you probably have some of these skills too, or maybe even more. Let’s own it!
