Annette is CEO / Founder of Egality, she founded the company in 2020 to connect community organisations with the health and life sciences sector.  The aim was, and still is, to bring together the wealth of experience from both sectors, and deliver innovative projects that expand the impact of the health and life sciences sector to those who need it most.    

Annette was previously a policy and public affairs consultant where she worked with UK and global pharmaceutical companies to shape policies, improve health systems, and increase patient access.  This included a secondment in the UK government affairs team at a top ten pharmaceutical company.  

Alongside this she was Chair of the Board for the Social Action for Health charity, a grass-roots organisation empowering people and communities to live healthier lives in north east London.  Annette saw the charity through two successful restructures, and experienced first-hand the amazing work these organisations do, and the insurmountable challenges they face in the current environment.  

Annette founded Egality to combine her experience in both roles. She is passionate about connecting experts across different communities and sectors to tackle the big challenges today on health inequalities and inclusion in research.
