I had the pleasure to work with Charmaine in my new role at Sobi and she is just incredible: strong Regulatory Affairs and business expertise accompanied by a great personality, able to transform any teams or projects in a success!
Her communication and coaching skills are unique and her willingness to support and develop others is outstanding. She would be a great mentor to any leader (executive level, seasoned, new leader or leader-to-be) in any organization.
I highly recommend Charmaine since she can guide leaders in becoming better people leaders, helping them to focus on their strengths and unlock their potential.

“Charmaine was an inspiration and role model, with an authentic and trusting style. She allowed me to work independently but at the same time was available to exchange ideas.”
Charmaine was my manager for over two years while she was heading the R&D Regional center in Europe for Takeda. She has a fantastic talent in developing and coaching others. She was an inspiration and role model, with an authentic and trusting style. She allowed me to work independently but at the same time was available to exchange ideas.
When we drafted the first strategy for the regional center, she provided great insights on how to build our vision and which initiatives would add more value. She has strong and natural leadership skills, thus gaining respect from all colleagues who interacted with her in R&D and other functions. She set the foundations for a new R&D regional center, building a strong community and enabling strong connections with key stakeholders. She volunteered a lot of her time to mentor other colleagues at different levels of the organization. She is dedicated to increase diversity and inclusion in the company and sponsored many employees resource groups. I would love to work with her again.
