About

Sandrine Rambaud provides the legal assistance needed for IMS Health to provide information, services, solutions and technology to improve the performance of companies operating in the health care market. Having joined the company in 2014, Rambaud brought with her 15 years of experience gained in IT law with prominent international firms including DLA Piper and Bird & Bird. Upon joining she was thrown into the deep end with the company’s large scale acquisition of Cegedim, a legal task carried out ‘with great success’ according to nominators. Through the efforts of Rambaud, the company was able to obtain Cegedim‘s Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software and their Strategic Data Business for €396m. This had a rolling impact allowing for calculated growth of IMS Health coupled with a doubling of turnover. Sources compliment Rambaud for her ‘tenacity, competency and reactivity’ which are all ‘very appreciated by all the lawyers working with her, she also knows how to stay kind and gentle in any circumstances with her team’. Monitoring tools put in place by Rambaud have created visibility for the commercial branch of the company and is slowly changing the strategic planning process. A quick adjustment into her new role Rambaud elaborates that: ‘my biggest challenge is to manage an increasing number of demands with limited resources. In the near future major changes in regulations, especially with regard to personal data, will be a new challenge for the legal department and for the company’. Her vast knowledge of technologies and the legal implications surrounding them is well-aligned to suit IMS Health’s aspirations to evolve to meet the future needs of the health care industry.
