Meet Our Speakers

Dr. Carl Winch completed his bachelor in Animal Science with a minor in Spanish from the University of Illinois in 2002. He then went on to study veterinary medicine at University of Glasgow where he graduated in 2008. Following graduation he worked in small and large animal private practices in the UK before moving to Portland, Oregon in 2014 where he joined Banfield Pet Hospital. He worked as a Chief of Staff, overseeing medical quality in two clinics. In 2019 he joined the Veterinary Affairs team at Banfield’s Central Team Support in Vancouver, WA where he currently oversees the campus liaison team and Banfield presentations at conferences. One key area of his work is exploring how Banfield can apply data to challenges within veterinary medicine by partnering with universities and other organizations and then share our findings with students and the profession. He also co-leads Banfield’s Pride Network and is passionate about equity, inclusion and diversity, and health and well-being. In his free time, he can often be found either in his garden or playing with his border terrier, Archie.
