Marketing for a pharmaceutical company.

But telling people that is boring and just reminds me that ever since I was about 7 I always really wanted to be a fighter pilot!

I work in healthcare strategy for an operating theatre, outpatient equipment company - guiding NHS Trusts through being more sensible about buying our kit by thinking long term.

Proud to say I've almost single handedly saved the NHS over 10 million hard earned pounds in just the last few months alone - love my job.
