Melanie Toyne-Sewell has left her position as managing partner and head of healthcare and life sciences at Instinctif Partners to assume role of managing director at Vigo Consulting.

Vigo Consulting is an independent strategic communications agency. Its appointment of Toyne-Sewell is, according to a press release, justified by her experience in dealing with transactions in both public and private markets.

Toyne-Sewell’s expertise in communications has taken her from a position as chartered accountant at PwC to a management position.

CEO of Vigo, Patrick d’Ancona, says Toyne-Sewell’s role is anticipated to prove pivotal for the success of the Health and Life Sciences division of the company. Toyne-Sewell herself looks forward to contributing to the “dynamic and growing business”.
