Background

Chantal completed her Industrial Pharmacist qualification at the Eli Lilly French Clinical Trial material production center. She then joined the Eli Lilly Development team in Belgium and spent ten years managing supply chain for global clinical trials in roles of increasing responsibility. She extended her Pharmaceutical industry expertise working for UCB, and then began managing all aspects of clinical trials while working with an early clinical phase consultancy company (Aepodia). When Tools4Patient was founded, Chantal decided to joint two former colleagues to be involved in a start-up company from square one – and has loved watching the company evolve and grow.

Fun fact

Chantal believes that dessert is the best part of any meal – so much so that Chantal’s favorite way to unwind after a busy week or a stressful day is to share dessert with her close friends. “I am a pack animal”, says Chantal. “I enjoy working with close colleagues and am always socializing – even vacationing – with family and friends.”
