I have 15 years of experience, started in Consulting (4 years) in Singapore, then in pharma for two companies (8 years) in Singapore and Denmark and now I'm in IQVIA. In pharma I've had regional and global roles in portfolio management, business development/ corporate strategy, intelligence. Moved to US to IQVIA and had to take a few steps back, mostly I feel to bridge lack of US experience. Feel like I can offer more based on my experience. Trying to break into global pharma role. Any advice?
