I am a life sciences real-world evidence, medical and corporate affairs executive with a track record for building and scaling innovative functions to accelerate patient access to medications through data. As a health policy and data science expert, I’ve dedicated my career to healthcare transformation through innovation and value. I fundamentally believe data, evidence, and AI are critical tools to improving patient lives and building a better healthcare system. Drawing from experiences at FDA, Capitol Hill, consulting, industry, academia, and thinktanks, I broker relationships between decision-makers across the ecosystem and build novel partnerships to accelerate patient access to drugs and improve care quality. At AstraZeneca, I am building the company’s global health policy evidence generation capabilities - a first-of-its-kind industry function. We are also collaborating with global stakeholders to advance the development and implementation of resilient and sustainable health deli
