Inga's Story
Science has always been my passion
I studied molecular biology in Germany, focusing on genetics, microbiology, and organic chemistry. But the moment that truly shaped my path didn’t happen in the lab. It came during a visit to a major medical trade fair. There, I discovered the power of scientific marketing and how strategy and storytelling could turn discoveries into real-world impact.
I started my career in sales at QIAGEN, then pursued PhD studies in Biochemistry at the CEA in France. Working at the bench was fascinating, but I still wanted to be close to science, just through a role where I could shape strategy and communicate complex ideas.
With the mentorship of a brilliant marketing consultant, I made the leap into marketing and never looked back. Over the years, I’ve worked across the life sciences industry, from fast-paced biotech start-ups to global pharmaceutical companies, helping translate complex science into business.
To support my journey, I also deepened my expertise with a Certified Marketing Manager credential from the Deutsche Akademie für Management, an Essentiel MBA from the London School of Economics, and a Digital Marketing Certification from the University of Cape Town.
Eventually, I founded IG Scientific Marketing to help life science and biotech teams turn their innovations into clear messages, smart strategies, and measurable impact.
My Motivation: Marketing with Purpose
My goal is simple: to bring energy, structure, and purpose to your marketing, so your science gets the attention it deserves.
I believe in science as a force for good: improving lives, advancing health, protecting our planet.
Empathy & Action
I approach every project with care. I listen, ask the right questions, and partner with you to understand your unique needs.
With enthusiasm and a clear focus on outcomes, I bring the energy to move projects forward and create impact where it matters.
Scientific Mind & Creative Thinking
I bring together a creative mind and scientific thinking to turn complex science into clear, compelling marketing messages and stories that connect and convert.
Flexibility & Adaptability
From biotech to pharma, and from start-ups to corporates, I adapt quickly and work seamlessly across teams and challenges.
Whether it’s a product launch, campaign execution, or a temporary role, I integrate fast, deliver results, and bring a positive, enthusiastic mindset to every project
Strategy & Credibility
Scientific marketing isn’t “just marketing in a lab coat.” It’s a discipline in its own right, one that combines credibility, strategy, and storytelling.
It’s about building trust with researchers, clinicians, and decision-makers while driving real business growth.
Helping smart innovations succeed: every project, every partnership
A Personal Touch
I enjoy running regularly, not only to stay fit but also to clear my mind.
It’s often during these runs that some of my best ideas take shape.
Additionally, horseback riding provides me with a sense of calm and balance, helping me maintain perspective.
Striking a good balance between work and life is essential, especially as an entrepreneur, to ensure I deliver the best possible services.
