AX'S CONSULTING - Key Persons

Cathy is the ‘organizer' of the partnership. Her interest in market access and pricing was sparked when she was director at Adelphi's Global Research team, and when ‘payers' emerged as a ‘fourth hurdle' in the late nineties. Cathy quickly realized that research on market access issues needs to be managed very differently from classical primary research. While at Adelphi, she also trained her talent for organization and management of complex and challenging research projects. Cathy supports Marc on fieldwork and analysis of projects. She likes to take a step back and focus on the "so what's" of what we learn. Her logical and analytical mind will make sure that the final deliverables are consistent. She's also the project manager and keeps a close eye on deadlines. Cathy has a degree in economics. A Belgian national, she spent 10 years in the pharmaceutical industry in Global and affiliate roles in the US, UK and Switzerland. Cathy is fluent in French, Dutch, English and has excellent notions of Spanish and German.
