Welcome to the Agency Advantage
My name is Sian Kneller, MSc, CMPP
I am a seasoned medical affairs professional with nearly two decades of experience in medical education. Throughout my dynamic career, I have honed my skills working both in-house in Pharma as well as diverse agency settings encompassing medical education, advertising and PR.
​
My three main missions:
1) Raise the profile of medical affairs within pharma - the bigger the profile, the more we can deliver for patients
2) Help people with an agency background secure their dream job in-house in pharma
3) Support and raise awareness around neurodiversity, introverts and women in leadership
