Summary
Dynamic communicator and journalist with a global outlook and proven track record of press and outreach and adept in crisis management. I enjoy working in an international setting and believe I can add to your efforts of raising awareness not only about diabetes, but also about Novo Nordisk's values and stand on issues such as obesity and health care. I am a storyteller at heart with a well-maintained network amongst media and a knack for creating strong and trust-based relations.
