Summary

As a results-driven strategy leader in the biotechnology industry, I excel at turning innovative science into compelling stories that drive commercial success. With over a decade of experience, I have led multi-channel campaigns, launched groundbreaking products and collaborated with cross-functional teams to deliver on key business goals. My strengths lie in creating data-driven strategies and scaling global outreach efforts. I thrive on driving growth through customer-centric, innovative approaches in fast-paced environments. Currently leading the APAC marketing efforts for Vizgen’s next-gen spatial genomics products, I am passionate about continuing to bring transformative technologies to market.

With a penchant for traveling and experiencing new cultures, I have lived and / or worked in India, UAE, USA, Singapore and Australia and therefore bring extensive international commercial experience and diverse perspectives to the teams I work with.
