I engaged Paula to support me as a consultant. In a lean, start up organization, I needed someone whom I could hand entire projects over to and who would need very little hand holding to deliver. Paula has a wealth of commercial experience and I felt completely confident in her abilities. I can't recommend her highly enough, she is a pleasure to work with.

I've had the pleasure to represent Paula for a project at a start-up client launching their first asset internationally. Working as a consultant, whilst we searched for a permanent solution, Paula established herself within the team quickly, supporting the international commercial strategy, with a focus on implementing marketing strategies for the rare-disease launch. Feedback from the client was been exceptional. I am more than happy to recommend Paula and offer a reference at any stage. Greg Bell - CEO Morgan Prestwich - greg.bell@morganprestwich.com

Paula and I have worked together for several years. Over this time Paula has been an exemplary client, providing leadership, strategic clarity and demonstrating a deep understanding of the marketing skillset. I look forward to working with Paula again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a senior marketing professional with energy and drive to get things done.
