Amgen, Statistical Programming Manager

When I started my BSc in mathematics at the University of Plymouth in 2001, I was interested in “maths for maths’ sake”, convinced I wanted to be an academic. This focus continued and I began a PhD in pure mathematics (combinatorics) at Queen Mary, University of London, which I very much enjoyed but towards the end it became apparent that academia wasn’t for me – or I wasn’t for it. When I completed my PhD in 2008 I found a hostile working world in the grip of a banking crisis and global recession. After a couple of years of a couple of different things I moved to Switzerland and fell into the world of clinical trials programming almost by accident. I have since worked in CROs in Switzerland, North Carolina and Swansea, and joined Amgen in 2019. I have never looked back.
I am a statistical programmer, a statistical programming oversight manager, a husband, father of an amazing 6 year-old boy, a Christian and Sunday school helper, a modest runner up to about 16km and an occasional singer-songwriter. I care very deeply about people, whether they look like me or not, and I am extremely privileged to be able to take that passion to work with me.
