Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Gemma
I am an executive in the Pharmaceutical sector with extensive experience in strategic and tactical planning in R&D. I have a good understanding of the sector's complexities and opportunities. I add value by accelerating the product pipeline and reducing time to market and ROI.
I work at the intersection of two fields: clinical development and digital health. My mission is to expand and transform the healthcare product portfolio for the future. More specifically, I lead the development of drugs and digital solutions that improve clinical outcomes, patient experience, and support healthcare professionals in healthcare delivery.
With a strong academic background in Molecular and Cellular Biology and advanced training in Leadership, Business Administration, and Marketing from ESADE and IESE, I possess a unique combination of scientific expertise and business acumen that allows me to bridge the gap between digital health innovation and ROI. I am fluent in English, Spanish, French, and Catalan, and I am skilled in managing transnational projects in culturally diverse environments.
