Allie has more than 8 years of experience in engineering and life sciences. Her drive to tackle seemingly unsolvable problems began during her PhD where she developed and patented novel biomaterials to treat spinal cord injury. She took this passion into her career in consulting where she found her niche in rare diseases where few, if any, treatments exist. During her time as a commercial strategy consultant, she gained therapeutic area acumen in rare diseases across gastroenterology, oncology, neurology, and immunology. She has considerable experience executing primary market research and is energized by facilitating insightful discussions with experts and patients ‘on the ground.’ Having the opportunity to create lasting change for patients with high unmet need ‘gets her out of bed in the morning.
