Background

About Kaitlyn Toner

I’m a healthcare professional with a unique blend of experience spanning medical affairs, clinical development, commercial strategy, and academic research—all grounded in a strong foundation of patient care and clinical science. Currently serving as a Medical Science Liaison at AbbVie, I leverage my scientific expertise and communication skills to translate complex clinical data into meaningful insights for healthcare professionals, helping advance patient outcomes and support strategic medical initiatives. Previously, as Senior Manager of Clinical Development, I led cross-functional projects from early feasibility to commercialization, authored clinical trial protocols, and collaborated with KOLs and innovation councils to shape the scientific direction of novel medical devices. Earlier in my career, I built deep commercial acumen at Cochlear Americas, consistently exceeding growth goals while mentoring new team members and leading professional education programs. With a Doctor of Audiology and dual master’s degrees in Clinical Investigation and Organizational Leadership, I bring both scientific rigor and strategic leadership to every project I take on. My work has been published in peer-reviewed journals, and I’m passionate about bridging science and strategy to deliver impactful, evidence-based solutions in healthcare.
