1️⃣ 5️⃣ 🎉 Last week we celebrated Patricia J.W.A.M. Celie's 15 year anniversary at Catalyze!
Patricia has made a huge impact for so many of our clients throughout her career. Over the years, she has gone from writing (and winning) a wide range of Dutch and European grants, to playing a key role in the development our business and strategic consulting services, to now serving as Principal Consultant and our representative to the EIC. We are proud to have you with us Patricia!
Patricia shared:
"I started at Catalyze on a Monday, and by Tuesday afternoon I was already sitting at the kitchen table of a highly respected professor who had the ambition to develop a drug for a disease for which no treatment existed. Today, that drug candidate is in late-stage clinical testing on the path toward approval.
In those early days, Catalyze was a young company too. We worked from a small, homely office in Bussum (NL), alongside just a few consultants and founders, Theodoor & Jalal. Fast forward to today, and we’re an established market leader – ranked among top consultancy firms and recognised as a Great Place to Work.
I’m grateful for the great colleagues, past and present, and I want to thank all the fantastic people I’ve worked with across different companies and in academia. I really value seeing projects, companies, and great innovations evolve into real-life products, on the shelves and in the clinic. I’m looking forward to what the future will bring, and to continuing to support teams with business strategy and attracting finance. Let’s make impact!"
