The BDSRA Foundation is thrilled to welcome Gretchen Fieschko to the Board of Directors!
Gretchen brings experience and compassion to her new role at BDSRA.
For over three decades, her career in biotech and pharma focused on global healthcare marketing and market development strategies. She found her work most rewarding in her regular collaboration with medical experts, scientists, patients, and their families, to drive earlier diagnoses, provide optimal new treatments, and expand the reach of those treatments to as many patients as possible in areas of neurology, immunology and rare pediatric diseases.
At BioMarin, as Director of Global Product Strategy for Batten disease and Brineura, she developed a particular passion for supporting efforts in the Batten community to build awareness, further research, and most importantly, help families with children or siblings afflicted.
Newly retired, she is delighted to have the opportunity to collaborate with others focused on improving lives affected by this terrible disease. She is looking forward to bringing her expertise in marketing and communications to the BDSRA family.
Gretchen has lived on the East Coast and Midwest and resides in Northern California with her husband, Larry, and their newly adopted 11-year-old husky, Boris.
