Meet Lee Primeau, Quality Controller

“I'm the kind of person who, if I say I'm going to do something, I do it. No matter what.”

Meet Lee Primeau, Quality Controller at Salvia.

Eindhoven is one of the most attractive ecosystems for highly skilled internationals, and that’s paying off for Salvia.

Take Lee Primeau, a motivated American-born Dutch citizen who speaks Dutch and has a Dutch wife. Lee came to Salvia via the United States Air Force with a strong biosciences background. He was living in Venray, while working for an American animal vaccine company when he got a call from Halix in Leiden asking him if he wanted to work on AstraZeneca’s Covid vaccine.

“I thought, ‘That's pretty cool. It's a once in lifetime assignment.’ ” A stint at Eindhoven-based vascular implant company Xeltis followed. Then, he got a call from a recruiter who told Lee about Salvia’s mission – making life better for people with migraine. “As soon as the recruiter explained it to me, I was sold,” he says.

But it wasn’t until he talked with people inside Salvia that he 𝘨𝘰𝘵 it. He and VP Product Development Zameed SahebAli had an immediate connection. “That guy knows what he's doing, and he knows this company inside and out,” Lee says.

CMO Wim Pollet explained how there are more than 180 variants in genes involved in migraine. Even a scent can trigger an attack. “It’s just completely insane, what these people have to go through on a daily basis, how it affects them, and some can't even function.”

Now, as quality controller for Salvia, “I’m the guy who’s the last line of defense (for quality). The guardian of the process, so to speak.”

In his off time, he and his wife are raising two daughters. “We decided to make a life here.” His hobbies include running (he ran the Eindhoven Half Marathon), fishing and photography.

Oh, and one last thing … like so many at Salvia, he has a direct connection. “My wife gets migraine, so I had a bit of a personal feel to it, as I can go into a field that can really help people.”

“Maybe one day 𝘴𝘩𝘦 gets a Salvia implant.”

Page Title (H1)

Header (H2)

A subheading or chapter heading (H3)

Introductory text or a first paragraph of information on this subject. Write as naturally as possible and be nice and specific. If necessary, use AI software to help you get started, but definitely don't use it one-on-one. Search engines can penalize AI content.

Subheading (H4)

Here too there is more than enough room for a good story, an interesting article or background information. If necessary, use a summary:

  • a summary is clear
  • one can see the benefits or features at a glance
  • also use search terms if necessary

Another topic (H3)

Another subheading (H4)

Do not use a Title Header (H1), but use an H2 Header instead. An H1 is actually a title of the page and may only appear once on a web page. The H2 is a kind of chapter and the other headers (H3 to H6) are subheadings and subheadings within the chapter. The order is important for the readability of visitors and search engines.

  1. a summary is clear
  2. one can see the benefits or features at a glance
  3. also use search terms if necessary

This way everything remains easy to read and understandable for the reader. People can also scroll directly to the topic they are interested in.

Paragraph heading style (H5)

This is another example of a heading. The headings H5 and H6 are usually used as paragraph headings, each with their own style.

Paragraph heading style (H6)

In the editor you can really see a difference in font size of all headers, but on the live website they have their own style.

Other options

Use a "quote". That looks like this:

This is a quote!

You can also put texts in bold, italic, etc.
Of maak een link naar een andere pagina of website.
And finally, you can also create Superscript(1) and Subscript(2) text.
