Bio
Georgina Gallop
I worked with Ben on a US brand relaunch, compiling the data that would inform the central strategy of the campaign. Ben’s knowledge of medical domains is excellent, simply put, he gets what doctors are looking for in their online news consumption. He’s confident in his analysis of data and presents his findings and recommendations clearly. It was always easy to work with Ben and I enjoyed his company in the office.
Sarah Issa, PhD
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Ben for over 2 years and his scientific background, analytical skills and in-depth knowledge of the pharmaceutical industry have played a key role in the editorial department. Some of his more consequential contributions include creating and managing digital oncology tools, that have been great business drivers; optimising content strategy across markets, and conducting performance analysis that increased audience engagement across projects. Ben seamlessly manages international teams and collaborates with different departments, his presence and contribution have therefore been key in managing our team’s transition to WebMD. Ben is an exceptional teammate with strong work ethic, working with him is intellectually rewarding.
