Tanguy Floch

Scientific Senior Consultant

R&D

Tanguy joined Emendo R&D in 2018, when the team comprised of just four members, a contrast to today's 16 and growing R&D team. Emendo support Tanguy’s view whereby “teamwork is very good, and above all, the value you bring to the company is not necessarily the number of hours you sit at your desk.”

As a Senior Scientific Consultant, he supports medical device development projects and specializes in tackling the most complex statistical modelling challenges within the regulatory framework. Currently, he is working on a combination product that advises a company on, among other things, various technical, procurement and regulatory aspects of developing a series of products that combines a drug, a biologic, or a device component into a single entity.

In addition, Tanguy thrives in project leadership roles and in working with stakeholders at all levels of the client organisation to deliver optimal solutions. Tanguy summarizes the R&D team in three words: "High-achieving, inspirational, and resilient."

Martine joined Emendo R&D in May 2021. She started as a scientific junior consultant, and after 2 months she was promoted to a scientific consultant. Just 1.5 years later, she became a scientific lead consultant.

She comes from a background in chemical engineering, where she finished her Ph.D. in Medical Biotechnology just before starting at Emendo R&D.

"In addition, I could identify with the Emendo values and culture, which for me is a major part of what separates us from others and why working at Emendo is so great," she says.

SME projects that allow her to apply her scientific training are her favorite kind of projects to work on.

Nur Sahin

Consultant

ENGINEERING

Nur is a consultant at Emendo Engineering, and she comes from a background in civil engineering. She initially joined Emendo as a junior consultant three years ago.

After my first job interview, I also fell in love with the work environment and the enthusiastic and kind employees that I got to have a glimpse of. I haven’t regretted my decision to join ever since, as I am thrilled to be a part of such a great company."

Maria Saabye Jørgensen

Senior Consultant

IMPLEMENTATION

Maria became part of Emendo Implementation three years ago and has since worked on projects with an eye for optimizing supply chains. She's a senior consultant now and still as excited about her work as ever!

She has a MSc in Engineering, Operations & Mgmt. Eng. and works with supply chain projects, focusing on processes, people, and systems.

Her favorite types of projects are supply chain related as she enjoys the interconnections in the chain and how well you can streamline and optimize the processes across if you understand how to control your supply chain.

After a day of driving progress with our customers, Maria can be found working on a DIY project at home or getting up early on a Friday to bring homemade breakfast for the rest of her team!

Her advice for future consultants: “Be humble and honest - and enjoy the changes and processes you will likely be a part of!”

Line Qvist Stauersbøl

Consultant

PROJECT CONSULTING

Line has been a consultant at Emendo Project Consulting for two years.

She graduated from DTU with a Master's in Pharmaceutical Design and Engineering. Before that, she was a carpenter.

While she started as a junior consultant, Line managed to in less than a year move up the ranks to a consultant. Her favorite types of projects to work on are "the long and hectic ones," she says because they allow Emendo Project Consulting to truly make an impact.

"At first, it was the perfect opportunity for me to combine my diverse background of carpentry, the pharma industry, and my interest in project management," Line says. "But more important now is the culture within the company. As a consultant, it can be difficult to belong as you spend most of your time with clients instead of your consultant colleagues." But Emendo prioritizes internal connections highly, which gives everyone an amazing bond within the company."

When not busy at work, Line loves to play beach volleyball and spends her vacation days traveling the world. She has even participated in a scientific experiment where she had a chip installed into her head so that researchers could track her sleep patterns for an entire year!
