About Manuelle
Cheffe des Opérations | Biotech & Pharma | Oncologie
Je transforme des actifs scientifiques prometteurs en programmes cliniques financés et opérationnellement solides.
Avec plus de 10 ans d'expérience à la tête des opérations de biotechs en oncologie, j'ai piloté des levées de fonds dépassant 6M£, structuré des plans de développement précliniques et cliniques, et géré des portefeuilles de projets à plusieurs millions d'euros — de la stratégie jusqu'à l'exécution terrain.
Ce que je fais mieux que quiconque :
- Faire le lien entre la science, la finance et l'opérationnel. Là où d'autres voient de la complexité, je vois un plan d'action.
- Direction des opérations bout-en-bout : pipeline scientifique, CROs, Board, parties prenantes, budget et runway.
- Création et structuration de sociétés biotech (spin-outs, business cases, decks investisseurs).
- Fundraising opérationnel : 4,2M£ levés chez Nodus Oncology, +2M£ chez Medannex/Oncobiopharm.
- Management de projets interdisciplinaires à fort enjeu (Wellcome Trust, MRC, SMART:Scotland). Leadership d'équipes expertes pluridisciplinaires (CMC, réglementaire, préclinique, clinique).
Formation entrepreneuriale à Babson College (Boston), PRINCE2 Practitioner, PhD en pharmacologie. Bilingue français–anglais.
