In today’s blog, it is our pleasure to introduce you to Alexis Le Chevallier, Financial Planning and Analysis Director.
Hi Alexis, Can you tell us what is your role at SparingVision?
At SparingVision, I am in charge of the FP&A, i.e. Financial Planning & Analysis. It mainly involves a retrospective analysis of our financials and a prospective view of budgets and operating plans to anticipate and prepare for the future.
What inspired you to join the genomic medicine in ophthalmic industry, and what keeps you motivated?
I had been working in the life sciences sector for a couple of years before joining. In this sector, I believe I can have an impact even though I am not a scientist. Joining such a promising field as the genomic medicine/ophthalmic industry really excited me.
What do you do in your department at SparingVision?
In the finance department, I am in charge of reporting & budgets. I also tackle internal structuring projects, which are important in the development of the company, such as IT.
How do you work with different teams across the company?
I am in contact regularly with different teams across the company for the purposes of my role but especially for the budgets which we update at least twice a year.
We always say everything at SparingVision starts with the patient. What does that mean in your role?
The ultimate goal of my position is to make sure we have enough help monitoring cash to advance to the next clinical phases and, eventually, to commercialization. We want to pave the way for the products to be delivered to as many patients as possible.
In a few words, why did you choose to work for SparingVision?
I had many good contacts that knew the company and recommended it to me. I also appreciated the promising trend of the company, and the interviews confirmed the nice team spirit and great environment. I believe so far, it’s been a good match!
