Boudicca, the Celtic Heroine
Pronounced “boo·di·kuh”
She who Brings “Victory”
Boudicca was a fierce, determined & strong Celtic leader who was able to inspire & motivate the Celtic tribes to all come together to take bold & decisive action even in the face of adversity to help them work as a team to navigate a Roman rebellion and emerge stronger on the other side with a victory.
Precision medicine product development requires a strategic, passionate & decisive heroine like Boudicca Dx to quickly navigate & help clients pivot in an ever-changing (global regulations), challenging (budget-restricted, never enough time & resources), and competitive (emerging competing technologies) landscape.
Kelly (from the Gaelic word for “warrior”) was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland during The Troubles & enjoyed visiting Celtic ruins on school trips, learning about warriors & their extraordinary bravery. Kelly immigrated to America when she was 15 years old, which was two years before the Good Friday/Belfast Agreement was signed & ended The Troubles.
