While being an interpreter by education, Clio started her career by responding to a vacancy for a project manager for Medtronic. Throughout the years, she managed to master the ropes of what makes this highly-regulated life sciences business so different from other industries. She is passionate about ensuring patients understand and resonate with life-saving products and therapies in a timely manner.
When attending a Life Sciences Business Roundtable back in 2005 in Germany, a discussion forum of senior medical device and pharma key stakeholders, both her interest was piqued in such a way that she shared her suggestions for future roundtables with the initiator, who then said: why don’t you take over from here? And so, she did for the next 18 years, holding 2 to 3 client forums a year in different geographies. She also served as President of elia (European Language Industry Association) for two years.
Clio is based in The Netherlands. Being half-Greek, she enjoys spending time in her vacation home in Greece with her family, taking long walks with dog Nikos and cooking Greek food.
