- I contributed constructively as an active team player and co-ordinated a multidisciplinary team across 2 continents and 4 countries.
- I particularly covered the clinical strategy for Remicade® and identified that the strong post-marketing clinical data acquired by JNJ and its partners over the years could provide a competitive advantage over the biosimilars.
- Together, we developed alternative sales, marketing, and IP strategies that could be adopted by JNJ to protect the eroding sales of Remicade®, in light of the biosimilars launch.
