Nathalie is a solution-focused and resourceful executive with 20+ years of scientific and consulting expertise in HEOR and RWE/RWD applied to clinical innovation.
She has a track record of building and leading high-performing entrepreneurial teams to catalyze innovations in public health, leveraging her clinical expertise and knowledge of multimodal RWD, technology, and advanced analytics.
Nathalie is a frequent public speaker adept at working with internal cross-functional teams and external stakeholders including Life Sciences partners, providers, payers, and regulators.
Nathalie's recent insights
Established a peer-to-peer scientific advisory force to potentiate innovation in RWE leveraging RWD, technology, and AI to support regulators and other stakeholders' decision making in a dynamic multi-modal oncology market.
Translated evidentiary needs into fit-for-purpose custom RW datasets and RWE studies ranging from RW control arms to dynamic registries assessing long-term outcomes, to support regulatory or HTA submissions.
Worked alongside Life Sciences clients to generate and deliver innovative RW solutions by leveraging the full spectrum of data & analytics, technology and scientific expertise at a large CRO.
Established an innovation lifecycle for novel offerings from ideation, proof of concept, standardization and growth.
Lead the strategic support for a multi-year collaboration between a large Pharma and IQVIA to build a RWD platform in Europe and Canada generating ongoing, comprehensive RWD to inform clinical & reimbursement decisions and improve Public Health outcomes for patients with a thoracic malignancy.
Led an initiative to enhance the clinical development pipeline and associated regulatory success for a large Pharmaceutical via innovative hybrid RCT-RWE designs such as pragmatic studies, external control arms and innovative extension studies leveraging fit-for-purpose RWD.
US lead for a searchable web platform centralizing information on global monitoring of HTA Agency across therapeutic areas in key markets to identify clinical, economic and humanistic endpoints associated with positive review.
Developed and conducted psychometric validation of patient reported outcomes (PROs) to support regulatory claims including 1) a measure of symptomatic malignant ascites impact in late stage cancer; 2) a responder index in chronic low back pain indicating patient-perceived clinically meaningful improvement while minimizing placebo response rates in clinical trials; 3) identifying the best definition for inclusion of an "osteoarthritis flare" as a clinical outcome and analysis of the outcome's responsiveness.
Lead health economics projects including 1) cost-effectiveness model for a spinal cord injury treatment to establish pricing thresholds and strategy for market launch; 2) a model comparing overall costs between cryoprecipitate and factor concentrate for the treatment of hemophilia.
