Finding My Next Opportunity
Strategic Communications LeaderFinding My Next Opportunity
Jul. 2022 - Feb. 2023I was so amazing at my last job orchestrating the corporate narrative and brand for Sierra Oncology that the company was acquired for $1.9 billion and my position was eliminated (hey...when you're good, you're good!) Now, I'm enjoying some time off while looking for my next great story to tell. If you're a biotech leader and need someone to come in and clearly articulate the value your company provides to your customers, investors and employees with incredible enthusiasm and a charming personality, let's chat. Or if you just need to bounce some ideas off of someone who has been there & done that, I'd love to hear from you. Let's connect or follow along this journey of my time in between roles at #embracingsabbatical. Cheers!
