Guidance for your C-Suite Ascent A global finance executive with a passion for healthcare, Constellation Pharmaceuticals CFO Emma Reeve offers straightforward advice to aspiring finance chiefs: continually add new experiences to your backpack and take them with you to your next role. She’s certainly demonstrated that her approach works. Reeve’s 20-plus years of industry experiences extends across pharmaceutical, medical device and bio-pharma companies including big-name corporations (like Novartis, Merck and Bristol-Myers Squibb) as well as development-stage biotech companies (Inotek Pharmaceuticals and Aton Pharma). While she methodically sought out experience in FP&A, accounting, investor relations and just about every other corporate finance function, Reeve credits her work outside the  finance and accounting realm – interacting with patient advocacy groups, partnering with business leaders and collaborating with the marketing function – with helping her reach the CFO office for the first time in 2002.
