About

As a visionary thinker and enterprise-scale operator, I’ve spent my career at the forefront of transformation—reimagining how large organizations harness technology, data, product, people, and AI to drive meaningful impact. I currently serve as Chief Digital & Technology Officer for GSK’s Commercial organization and SVP, Enterprise AI, where I lead global strategy and execution across technology, data, platforms, and AI—with a focus on unlocking value and delivering lasting outcomes for patients, customers, and the business. My work spans technology modernization, scaling global data and AI capabilities, building high-performing teams, actively shaping global talent across geographies & global capability centers, and launching platform and product portfolios that deliver measurable business impact across geographies. At the enterprise level, I chair GSK’s Responsible AI Council, guiding the ethical and transparent use of AI across the company. I also contribute to board-level strategy, shaping how Gen AI drives business priorities and responsible innovation. I bring a rare combination of visionary leadership, technical depth, content expertise, and execution excellence. I’m a change agent who can mobilize organizations behind bold agendas—and I lead with purpose, ambition, and a relentless focus on outcomes. What drives me: unlocking value with purpose, crafting bold yet grounded strategies, and building inclusive, resilient teams that thrive through transformational change.
