Speaker Bio
In my role as Senior Director A.Catalyst, Health Innovation at AstraZeneca, I co-lead a network of 25+ health innovation hubs across the globe. I love connecting the dots between ideas, people, opportunities, problems and potential solutions. And to be able to do so in the field of life science and healthcare innovation is a privilege.
Prior to joining AstraZeneca, I have been driving innovation and new business development in a number of industries, and spent almost a decade in the education industry. I have changed industry every time I have changed jobs and that makes me a constant curious learner who is not afraid of being the one with the stupid questions. I'm an engineer by training and my career started with a start-up in the emerging mobile services field back in 2004, in the ages of mobile WAP, Java-apps and MMS way before the iPhone came and blessed the industry.
