Who is Jan Flynn?
I’ve been working in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry for nearly 40 years and during this time I have gain a wide breadth of experience and knowledge.
Following getting my first degree, BSc Biochemistry and Toxicology from the University of Surrey, I started my career for SmithKilne & French (this is showing my age) in R&D a few years later, I moved into Regulatory Affairs for many years looking after a wide range of products. I was lucky enough to be seconded into Marketing to cover someone’s maternity leave and from then on, I realised how much I loved the commercial side of the business. And the rest, as they say is history!
I have since worked for several companies in sales and marketing roles, and had a spell working as a Medical Copywriter for and advertising agency. I got my MBA from Durham University in the early 90’s which together with my Biochemistry background helps me combine science with business.
I have won several marketing awards over the years for different campaign, digital marketing, patient materials.
I can combine right brain creative, artistic thinking with left brain methodical practical delivery to bring innovative and disruptive solutions.
Why the name Kruse Consulting and not Jan Flynn Consulting?
I’m asked this question a lot. Kruse Consulting Ltd was started in 2000, when I started working with a good friend of mine Carolyn Kruse, who ran Kruse Consulting Inc. we worked together for many years, but sadly Carolyn passed away and I have kept the name Kruse Consulting in her honour.
