We are delighted to announce the promotion of three of our junior team members, who have all joined us within the last year. During recent months, while all working remotely, we have continued to provide career development opportunities and recognise our team’s achievements and hard work.

The fantastic promotions are:

Since joining Aurora, she has expanded her pharma portfolio, working in therapeutic areas including gastroenterology and rare diseases on awareness, education, and patient advocacy. Izzy graduated in 2018 from Durham University with a degree in Health and Human Sciences.

• Manahil Afseh promoted to Senior Account Executive

Anna comments: “Izzy, Manahil and I have come from a variety of backgrounds from in-house pharmaceutical to charity and public health. Working at Aurora has provided us with the opportunity to share our experiences and work towards a common goal of improving lives for patients, where we can continuously develop our skills and knowledge of strategy and measurement to do this effectively for our clients.”

We are thrilled to have them as part of our team.
