Memorable career moment?
Attending the inauguration of the first new healthcare facility in Peru. I was the healthcare technical assurance lead on the Peru Reconstruction Programme and had spent considerable time away from family during the COVID pandemic. This made it all worthwhile
Why Archus?
Alongside an exclusive focus on supporting the healthcare sector, I was drawn to the company's incredibly strong social purpose and values.
Most significant trend for healthcare in the future?
The need to address the health equity gap (both in developed and developing countries) and the affordability of healthcare.
