I'm a biochemist by education who ran a bn-euro P&L businesses in pharma and now works at the intersection of cloud, AI, and life sciences at Amazon Web Services. That combination — deep science, strategic and operational leadership at scale, and cutting-edge technology — is what drives everything I do. What gets me out of bed? The unprecedented convergence of medical knowledge, cloud-enabled technologies, and advanced data science. We are at an inflection point where we can finally decipher the complexity of human biology, personalize patient care, and move from a sick-care paradigm to one that truly puts patients at the center. At AWS, I help the world's leading life sciences companies and biotechs reimagine what's possible across the continuum of care — from modernizing clinical development and transforming commercial engagement to unlocking the power of real-world evidence for better decisions and better outcomes. Before AWS, I spent nearly two decades in senior executive roles across global biopharmaceutical companies — running multi-country P&Ls, leading post-merger integrations, launching 10+ products, and building commercial organizations from the ground up. I didn't just advise on strategy.I operationalized it. That's the lens I bring: not theory, but the hard-won understanding of what it actually takes to transform how medicines are developed, commercialized, and delivered to the people who need them — and a deep conviction that cloud, AI, and data are the catalysts that will make it happen at scale.
Leading AWS's global life sciences commercial strategy & solutions — helping pharmaceutical, biotech, and medtech companies harness cloud, AI/ML, and advanced analytics to transform commercial and medical operations, customer engagement and patient care experiences.
Advising a startup developing a cloud-based platform to predict drug toxicity risk early in discovery — addressing one of pharma's most costly failure modes (25–30% of Phase II/III failures). The platform combines flow cytometry, automation, and advanced data science to enable "fail fast" strategies that improve pipeline quality, accelerate patient access, and reduce animal testing.
Led strategy for a boutique consultancy specializing in evidence-based omnichannel customer engagement for global life sciences companies — from design through execution and measurement.
Translated 20+ years of strategic and operational pharma experience into advisory work for life sciences clients and digital health startups — spanning commercial strategy, digital transformation, omnichannel engagement, launch excellence, and interim leadership.
Directed portfolio strategy, customer engagement, commercial operations, launch excellence, and digital health partnerships across the region.
