I've known pharma from the inside — since I was 18
ABOUT
My approach is simple: you build a career the way you build a brand. First, clear positioning and your real strengths. Then a CV, LinkedIn and a search strategy that turn applications into offers.
Today I help professionals in pharma, healthcare, life sciences and IT do what I once did myself: see the real value of their experience, choose a direction, and reach the next level — in their market or abroad.
At 18, I got my start inside Big Pharma through Pfizer’s "More than Education" programme and an internship in Ireland. Since then I’ve moved from sales and product marketing into global teams and a marketing project at the company’s global HQ in Switzerland.

CASE STUDIES
«Through Julia’s questions, I was able to look at myself and say: I’m actually a really strong professional».
In under two months — an offer in Vienna as Global Omnichannel Manager at an international pharma company. From zero interviews to an offer with relocation.
We identified her strengths, rebuilt her CV and resolved the gaps, and shaped her positioning for the international market. I supported her at every step — right through to preparing for the marketing case.
Break into the international market and land a pharma marketing role in Europe — with relocation.
Alexandra had a strong career in pharma, but her CV had gaps she didn’t know how to explain, and she couldn’t put her own strengths into words. Applying blind to company websites from Moscow, she wasn’t getting a single interview invitation.

«After a session, you walk away energised and you realise: yes, I can do this».
Daria made two moves: from the lab into sales, and then into marketing. At her new company she was promoted to product manager in under a year, and she’s now helping to launch a new product.
We identified her transferable strengths, mapped out a career decision tree, and built a step-by-step strategy to move into marketing via sales.
Build a realistic path into marketing using her technical background — without starting her career from scratch.
After university, Daria was working in a lab but wanted to move into a commercial role and, eventually, into marketing.

«Julia is someone who gives you not just professional support but emotional support too — which matters enormously during a job search».
After two and a half months of focused work — an offer from a Clinical Research Organization (CRO); Vlada now works with international pharma. There was already a final candidate for the role — but in the interviews Vlada positioned herself so well that the choice went to her.
We rebuilt her CV with real results and tailored it for clinical research, shaped her positioning, and prepared her for interviews so she could convey her value with confidence.
Land a role in clinical research as fast as possible — before the internship ended.
Vlada had been job-hunting for over six months — with nothing to show for it. She wanted to move from preclinical into clinical research, but she was applying blind and didn’t understand how hiring actually works: not a single interview invitation. Her CV was weak and undeveloped, with no results. And the clock was ticking — her current internship was coming to an end.

«Julia convinced me to aim for Big Pharma — and that was a real eye-opener for me».
Three weeks after starting her search — an offer from a Big Pharma company and a move from the pharmacy into pharmaceutical sales. Her salary doubled (+100%), and recruiters now reach out to her non-stop.
We rebuilt her CV for the pharma industry, identified her strengths and transferable skills, shaped her positioning, and prepared her for interviews. Instead of looking only at smaller companies, we built a strategy to go straight for major international employers.
Move from retail pharmacy into sales and land a role in Big Pharma.
Ekaterina had spent five years working in a pharmacy and saw no further prospects there. She wanted to move into pharmaceutical sales, but she had no experience inside a pharma company and didn’t know which roles she could realistically aim for.
