Vivek Yelisetti — CEO
I’m a transformation and strategy executive with 15+ years of experience driving enterprise-wide change across the Life Sciences spectrum—Global Pharma, Biopharma, Generics, and MedTech. My passion lies in solving complex operational challenges and delivering sustainable value through strategic partnerships, innovation, and stakeholder-centric execution. Currently, I serve as Executive Director, Corporate Services Operations at Bristol Myers Squibb in New Jersey, where I lead high-impact initiatives to enhance supply chain/sourcing operations, elevate user and stakeholder experience, and deliver P&L outcomes. I collaborate closely with finance and business leaders to shape and execute strategic priorities across organization. Previously, I was an Associate Partner at McKinsey & Company, where I led the Life Sciences Procurement Practice and was a core member of the Operations Group. I advised C-suite executives on end-to-end transformations spanning Corporate Strategy (e.g., long-range planning, growth strategy, M&A) and Operations (e.g., Procurement, Digital, R&D, ESG, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Culture, Change Management, Capability Building)—typically through multi-year engagements. Earlier in my career, I held roles at Schlumberger (Oil & Gas Operations) and Auronova Consulting (Financial Risk Management) in the Middle East. I hold an MBA from the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB) and a B.Tech in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IITD).
