Meet Health Care Communications Professional, Ishtar Schneider

In the nearly six years since she started at Palin, Ishtar Schneider has made her mark. Martin Palin, the firm’s managing director, cites her interest in business development, her singular pitching capabilities and the relationships she builds with clients. One example: Schneider’s effort on behalf of Glaxo SmithKline to get more Australians to seek medical attention for hay fever, a campaign that produced enviable results across the board. Schneider has also led a number of professional development programs, including a current initiative focused on encouraging open dialogue around mental health and work/life balance in the communications industry.
