Bio
Jon Lyons, PhD MBA
Vivien is a gifted and talented medical affairs professional. I had the honor of working with Vivien for the launch of Ruxolitinib cream at Incyte. She impressed me with her strong clinical & practical business knowledge, unique poise & confidence in presenting to KOLs & internally to senior leadership, and her ability to genuinely connect & gain immediate trust with thought leaders. Vivien was instrumental on the team as our voice of reason, sharing best practices with her colleagues, leading medical initiatives at congresses, improving processes and training content, all the while keeping a positive & light-hearted spirit. Vivien was recognized with awards two times in her first year at Incyte for exceeding goals and embodying behaviors that all managers look for in high-performing medical liaisons. Vivien is a natural rockstar who possesses exceptional technical & soft skills, mindset, and leadership capabilities to take her professional journey to another level.
Lisa Ficke
Vivien and I were Medical Science Liaison teammates for just over 4 years at Novartis. Vivien quickly proved to be a scientific expert in Dermatology and established strong, genuine relationships with Medical Experts externally as well as co-workers internally at Novartis. Her collaborative mindset and inclusive, energetic personality prove to be a great addition to any team. She is an early adopter of new technologies – OneDrive, OneNote – and shares best practices to benefit the entire team. She undertook numerous leadership responsibilities – Meeting Lead, Clinical Trial Lead – and exceled at each opportunity. I sincerely hope our paths cross again in the future.
