At Aspire we’re always looking to evolve the services we can offer, and to help our clients stand out. With this in mind, we’re thrilled to announce that Jude D’Souza has recently joined the Aspire team as Director of Creative Services. Introduction of in-house creative expertise will allow us to greatly enhance our abilities to provide creative services and the high-level consultancy our clients expect.
Jude has a fantastic reputation in the industry, but for anyone who doesn’t already know him, Jude has 17 years of experience in medical communications, having worked across therapy areas as varied as oncology, cardiology, diabetes, and rare diseases. In that time, he has led or built design teams dedicated to improving how we communicate science, with his focus always on the experiences of the end user. A keen cinephile, Jude applies his interest in storytelling to crafting compelling content and evangelising about the need to improve how we approach development and delivery of presentations.
In addition to delivering training on this topic to some of the world's biggest pharmaceutical companies, he has also worked as a speaker trainer and coach for the European Hematology Association since 2021. His passion for presentations extends beyond his day job: in 2018–19, he co-founded a TEDx event in Macclesfield in which he helped develop talks on subjects ranging from astrophysics to macroeconomics and mental health.
