Background

About Karla Sharp

With 10 years of experience in project managment, I have developed a passion for creating and delivering high-quality content and research that informs, inspires, and connects audiences across various sectors. My current field of expertise is in healthcare and pharmaceuticals, where I have conducted global research and identified new revenue opportunities (such as advanced medicine, medical technology, digital health and oncology events). As the Director of Global Research & Projects at Reuters Events, I work with a talented and diverse team to produce world-class digital content and virtual and in-person events that engage key stakeholders and influence innovation across the healthcare and pharma industry. In my current role, I am responsible for conducting global research across healthcare and pharma verticals, including c-suite interviews. I also present business cases for new revenue opportunities, such as custom events, specialist partnerships, and sponsored content. Additionally, I conceptualise and develop new content and event strategies, which showcase the latest innovations and best practices in emerging fields. I leverage my skills in R&D, research, and B2B sales and marketing to create and deliver impactful and valuable content for readers, clients and partners.
