A bit about me
Prior to joining Kintiga, the majority of my career has been in the NHS at NICE and I made sure my next career move was to an organisation that is aligned with my personal values, which is to contribute as much as possible to ensure equal and timely access to the most innovative medicines and technologies for all.
Career highlights

He then moved to the Centre for Health Technology Evaluation Directorate as the Topic Selection Project Manager, managing the selection process for technology appraisals and highly specialised technologies.
