Before joining Across Health, Philip worked as a Principal in the IMS Consulting Group, leading the European Competitive Intelligence centre of excellence.

At Across Health, Philip focuses on the development and implementation of new methodologies, metrics and KPIs to assess the impact and profitability of relevant marketing tools in the new, digital environment. As such, he supports Across's insights offering in general, and its proprietary Cross-channel Navigator, Channel Mix Assessment and ROI-assessment services in specific. These services provide our clients with a valuable decision aid when allocating and optimizing resources: globally, Pharma has moved towards a careful stakeholder prioritization paradigm, and a clear understanding of how to best deploy digital and fusion marketing tactics is a must-have on the road to success.
Privately, Philip likes reading, travelling, hiking, cycling and photography, as well as the nice things in life, such as good food and quality time with partner, family and friends.
