About

As the co-founder of a health tech startup, I leverage my MBA and 21 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry & global health to create innovative solutions that advance human health and well-being. I am passionate about using technology,, and collaboration to disrupt and transform the current roadblocks in healthcare systems and improve the quality, efficiency, and effectiveness of health care delivery. I have a track record of leading organizational transformation, developing people, building partnerships, and influencing policy in various settings, including large public sector organizations like the World Bank and the World Health Organization, private industry, hospitals, clinical research, and international development. I also serve as a board member of Medicines for Malaria Venture, a Gates Foundation global health initiative that aims to reduce the burden of malaria by developing the world’s leading malaria treatment and prevention medicines. I also serve as a lecturer INSEAD, the world’s leading business school and at ETH Zurich, a leading European research university. Additionally, I am a TEDx speaker and a graduate of the Second City Conservatory and Improv Comedy Program, where I learned the power of storytelling, empathy, and humor to connect with diverse audiences and inspire change.
