Über Carole

I am a former Vice President, Programs & Portfolio Office, with over 20 years of leadership experience in biotech and pharmaceutical environments.

Today, I operate as a Fractional Chief of Staff and Portfolio & Governance Executive, partnering with biotech CEOs, founders and Boards at critical inflection points.

I step in when:
• Portfolio complexity outpaces structure
• Capital discipline becomes decisive
• Execution credibility must be restored

My role is to bring executive alignment, governance clarity and milestone-driven prioritisation without adding bureaucracy.

I operate as an embedded executive partner, not an external consultant.
