Gino Zandbergen, MSc

‘During my study Strategic Entrepreneurship at the Erasmus University Rotterdam I gained a growing interest in the development and implementation of digital innovations. Therefore I decided to work as a project manager at Repulic M!, a digital communications agency, with a worldwide scope, explicitly working with pharmaceutical companies. After 5 years and several positions, moving from operations to commercial & strategic positions, I decided that it was time for me to move on. In September 2020 I started at Bristol Myers Squibb combining my multichannel & digital experience with (more traditional) product management within Hematology. In my current role I’m responsible for the omnichannel / digital strategy within Oncology & Hematology in the Netherlands. Since June 2020 I’m happily representing BMS at the YIM.’
