HPM was acquired by UBC in May 2009. Since then, she has managed the Geneva office, and in early 2011, she took over as the global pharmacovigilance practice lead.
Véronique holds a PharmD from the University Louis Pasteur (Strasbourg, France) and later graduated from the University of Basel as a University Professional in Pharmaceutical Medicine.
