About

As a product leader at the intersection of AI, cloud SaaS, and Life Sciences, I specialise in building and scaling innovative, regulation-compliant products that solve real-world healthcare and pharma challenges. With 14+ years of experience spanning AI product development, technical program management, and scientific research, I’ve led full product lifecycles, from 0→1 development to GTM execution, across high-impact domains such as pharmacovigilance, diabetes care, and biopharma R&D enablement. At Datafoundry, I defined and executed the product vision for an AI-driven SaaS platform, launching a compliant MVP within 12 months and onboarding clients. Previously at JoVE and MetFlux, I launched customer-centric biopharma products and led health-tech innovation projects from ideation to delivery. I bring a rare mix of technical depth, scientific rigour, and business acumen. I thrive in cross-functional environments that demand strategic thinking, customer empathy, and data-informed decision-making.
