Eva D'lom knows what it's like to work harder, not smarter. After progressing to Director of Project Management in Clinical Research and supporting over 1,500 project professionals, she still burned out—twice. The problem wasn't dedication. It was biology.
Unexpected medical challenges in her family sparked an early determination to help patients access innovative therapies. That drive led her to study Molecular Biology and Biochemistry at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, followed by a Master's in Research and Development of New Medicines at Universidad de Navarra. What began as a personal mission became a 25-year career transforming how Clinical Research programmes are managed.
Everything changed when she trained as a Brain-Based Coach through the NeuroLeadership Institute. That's when she discovered the neuroscience behind sustainable high performance—the strategies that actually work with your brain, not against it. These discoveries became the foundation for her book, The Empowered PM Toolkit: How to Work Smarter without the Long Hours or Missing Out on Life.

She served as Subject Matter Expert for regulatory inspections, architected corrective action plans for compliance issues, and provided programme management expertise for multi-million-pound proposals and RFIs. Her work across oncology, biosimilars, dermatology, transplant, and infectious disease programmes earned her finalist recognition for the 2008 PharmaTimes Best Project Manager Award.
