Jennifer Tallett
President
Jen Tallett started PharmaPointe Group in September of 2005 to “keep active” when she decided to stay home with her young children between 2005 and 2011. Over the past two decades, the company has evolved from simply consulting and medical writing, a multi-service agency with expertise in peer-to-peer engagement, Patient Envoy™ Programs, HCP and Patient testimonial development, clinical presentations, speaker training, advisory board recruitment and moderation, and live/remote customer presentations. While at GSK, Jen led marketing and KOL development teams in Dermatology, Respiratory, Anti-Virals and HIV. She was responsible for some of the very first TV advertisements featuring real patients living with HIV, and a number of other ground-breaking, stigma-breaking, results-producing, award-winning marketing campaigns. She is passionate about helping people living with challenging medical conditions tell their authentic stories to share their own experiences. When not leading the amazing team at PharmaPointe Group, Jen is active in her community through bicycling and volunteering with a local dog rescue. When travelling, she can usually be found either underwater blowing bubbles (with scuba gear!) or grinding her way up a mountain pass on a bike. She lives in Cary NC, and is the very proud mom of three young adults.
