  Emma Chaffin Vice President @ Head of Commercial Strategy and Portfolio Management at tranScrip

  Through over 25 years of combined pharma, strategic consulting and healthcare provider experience across EU and the Middle East, Emma has realised that she has a desire and strength to do things differently. Her career has been focussed around entrepreneurial and commercial start-up/scale environments, including securing a successful AIM listing. She has built multiple organisations/business units from the ground up across varied geographies, usually whilst simultaneously successfully launching, and these are key areas where Emma enjoys adding value. Balancing risk and return is a crucial skill set in today’s healthcare environment and through years of experience this now comes as second nature to Emma; as does handling multi-million dollar P&Ls.
