Anne-Pierre Pickaert has over 20 years of public health and access to medicines experience with a wide range of healthcare stakeholders (charity, patient organisation, governmental agency, consultancy and pharmaceutical industry).

She initially worked as cancer prevention specialist through nutrition and lifestyle (World Cancer Research Fund and the French National Cancer Institute) and later worked as market access director (Kantar Health, Lundbeck, and Sanofi). Anne-Pierre holds a MSc in Economic Evaluation of Health Technology Assessment from the University of York.

Upon her own diagnosis Anne-Pierre realised how much her health care background was of great help to navigate through the complexities of her own patient journey. In order to have a greater impact on patient access to care, Anne-Pierre founded Care4Access, a consultancy dedicated to patient engagement and advocacy, and has also been collaborating with the consultancy and social enterprise Patvocates.

Anne-Pierre is an engaged patient advocate with Entraide aux Greffés de Moelle Osseuse (EGMOS) and Association Laurette Fugain, two French patient organisations, to promote bone marrow donor recruitment and improve access to leukemia care, including the management of graft versus host disease GvHD. She is a steering committee member of the Acute Leukemia Advocates Network (ALAN), as well as a board member of the Francophone Society for Bone Marrow Transplant and Cellular Therapies (SFGM-TC).
