Simone studied at Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Simone is an entrepreneur with more than 25 years of experience in rare and chronic disease across multiple leadership roles such as global commercial head, global patient advocacy and services and global public affairs.

“A big inspiration for what I do comes from my experience leading the Humanitarian Program at Genzyme.

I want to use my knowledge to support initiatives that can accelerate diagnosis and access to treatment”.
