Stewart’s extensive knowledge comes from years of experience centered exclusively on ophthalmology. Her commitment to the specialty formed during an early career role as an ophthalmic clinician. She swiftly gained a strong foothold in the ophthalmic industry, taking on leadership roles in sales, marketing, and brand management at life-sciences companies large and small. Most recently, Stewart worked for publicly held Johnson & Johnson Vision and, before that, the start-up TearLab. At both organizations, she developed training, education, and communication programs for internal and external audiences as well as customer-focused sales, marketing, and branding initiatives that played a vital role in both companies’ growth.

Stewart has lived and worked internationally, leading global teams and building relationships with key opinion leaders and sponsors around the world.

Stewart earned a Master of Arts in History at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, where she also completed her undergraduate degree.
