Dear Iona, we are clearly interested in various backgrounds and are especially looking for experts in a specific industry as you are. With your background I think you could fit in our healthcare team or also in our consumer good competence center focussing on agriculture / biology.

Even if you don't have any previous experience in consulting (yet) we would be very happy to get your application for our consulting positions.

That is very encouraging to hear, as most life sciences consulting positions I have read about focus on the big pharma field.
