About

I am a Life Sciences professional with 12+ years of experience across R&D and oncology commercial roles at Roche. My experience spans R&D, oncology commercialization, and market access in regulated environments. During my PhD, I translated complex research into innovation outcomes, strengthening my analytical and problem-solving approach. At Roche, I work across oncology and hematology portfolios, supporting launch execution, competitive positioning, and reimbursement initiatives. I focus on using data and field insights to inform strategy, align stakeholders, and drive sustainable growth. With an MBA from IIM Calcutta, I am particularly interested in Life Sciences strategy and transformation. I am equally motivated by opportunities in commercial leadership roles where scientific depth, strategic thinking, and cross-functional alignment drive business impact.
