George loves telling stories. Big, tall or short. He’s been doing it for more than 25 years for some of the world’s most iconic brands. He started his career as an electronics engineer, but craved a more creative canvas, and made the leap into marketing communications. Following a stint at the BBC, he joined his first agency and the rest, as they say, is LinkedIn profile history.
He founded IPG agency Creation in 2011 and served as global president, before teaming up with Current to form Current Global in 2018. His experience traverses the full spectrum of marketing communications including brand, reputation management, digital/integrated communications policy and government affairs.
Outside of work he’s often found in his vegetable patch or brewing beer. He’s also a film fanatic, collects original cinema posters and has a dog called Sundance.
What fascinates Rosmarie most about healthcare communication: The industry and its typical field of tension between the pharmaceutical industry, doctor/pharmacist and patient constantly offer impulses and starting points for new ideas. With openness, enthusiasm, customer orientation, a lot of experience and a solid scientific background, Rosmarie and her dedicated, motivated team have designed and successfully implemented major new launches of innovative medications and attention-grabbing awareness and patient motivation campaigns – both in her pharmaceutical career at Sanofi, Hexal and Sandoz and later with the agency Commpartners for numerous customers. After ten exciting and successful years with Commpartners, she is now looking forward, together with her long-time colleague Anne, to launching a new healthcare unit at Current global. In her private life, Rosmarie prefers to be outdoors and active, in summer and winter in the mountains – or on holiday at the sea.
Jacelyn brings together two of her greatest passions – healthcare and technology – in her work at Current Global. Her PR career of nearly two decades began with Fortune 500 technology companies in software, hardware, e-commerce, and consulting. Her healthcare expertise spans multiple therapeutic areas, from the most common and well-researched conditions such as in cardiovascular diseases, oncology and neurology, to some of the rarest diseases across genders, ages, and races.
Jacelyn keeps a sharp eye on the evolving global health landscape, an interest she developed in part through her first-hand knowledge of multiple cultures. She’s lived in seven cities on three continents and speaks fluent Mandarin Chinese and English, and has a working knowledge of French, Italian, and Cantonese.
Jacelyn holds a Master’s degree in International Management from the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland and received her undergraduate degree with honors in business from the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. Her family runs a boutique inn on a 66-acre farm in the Hudson Valley region north of Manhattan, where she lives with her husband, their toddler and Australian cattle dog mix. The inn provides a rich canvas for Jacelyn’s closet interior decorating, baking and Instagramming skills.
Nivey fell into the agency world via a brief spell as project manager in a clinical trials company that specialized in recruiting Asian participants. Curious to know more about how the company was doing this, she joined the marketing team and later found herself in her first global agency job working in the healthcare team.
Fast forward 18 years, Nivey now leads our health practice in London. Her experience is broad and diverse and spans integrated brand/product strategy, public health and social impact, global advocacy, corporate health, and policy programs across the globe.
Nivey is a firm believer in exploring all the dimensions that make us who we are and finding outlets to express our truest nature. Outside of all things healthcare communications, she can be found playing and teaching Capoeira and classical Indian dance styles. She publishes poetry and runs workshops that encourage people from all walks of life to gain confidence and get closer to their innate creativity through exploring multiple artistic forms related to movement, dance and words.
Claire has worked at PR agencies for over 20 years, from independents to global networks. She cut her teeth as a client counselor, heading up consumer brand and corporate business, encouraging Girl Guides to use more loo roll, biscuit eaters to dunk at a specific angle, and pretty much anyone who would listen to drink more gin. In the early 2000s, she found her niche in business development and has run those functions in agencies across London since then. Claire joined IPG agency Creation in 2016, supporting through the successful merger to become Current Global in 2019.
In life outside work, Claire gets up with the lark for Spin classes and two wheel adventures, loves her running shoes deeply, and isn’t yet ready to hang up her festival crown.
