Catrin S.

With over 28 years of experience in the pharmaceutical and life science industry and many years of executive leadership responsibility, I take on interim and project mandates in Medical Affairs, Transformation, and Leadership.

I am particularly effective in situations that require clarity, orientation, and leadership strength: during organizational changes, leadership transitions, complex stakeholder constellations, and phases of realignment.

As Country Medical Director and a member of the executive board, I have helped build and lead Medical Affairs organizations through complex transformation phases. I am accustomed to taking responsibility quickly, establishing clear governance and decision-making structures, and getting teams on track in regulated, international environments.

Focus Areas:

Interim Medical Affairs Leadership – at the executive level.

Building and reorganizing Medical Affairs organizations.

Transformation and Change Management in complex matrix structures.

Clarifying roles and responsibilities at the senior level.

Strategic alignment and operational implementation.

Interface Global – Regional – Local

Measurable Results from Previous Mandates:

40% increase in customer interaction in Medical Affairs through organizational realignment and structured processes.

50% reduction in SOP and training complexity through process digitalization.

Building and stabilizing an organization with 30+ employees in a two-tier leadership structure.

Furthermore, I support executives as an Executive Coach and sparring partner – especially in situations characterized by uncertainty, conflicts, strategic repositioning, or career transitions.

Available for interim and mandate-based leadership roles as well as executive coaching in the pharmaceutical and life science environment.
