Raj Nimmagadda, VP, Enterprise Data Strategy and Engineering, Amgen

Throughout my 20-plus year career in the pharmaceutical industry, I have been driven by a passion for leveraging technology and data to solve complex problems and improve patient outcomes. My background in math, computer science, and strategy has provided a strong foundation for my work in data and digital transformations. 

I began my career at Johnson & Johnson as a programmer and data analyst, working on various projects involving data migration and analytics. I had the opportunity to contribute to pediatric drug submissions, where I saw firsthand the impact that technology could have on meeting unmet patient needs. This experience solidified my passion for the industry and sparked a desire to continue driving innovation through data and technology. 

Over the past two decades, I have held various leadership roles managing large-scale business, data, and digital transformation projects globally. Through these experiences, I have developed expertise in building teams, change management, and cultural transformation, recognizing the importance of fostering a data-driven culture that permeates every level of an organization. 

I am responsible for accelerating data-enabled decisions and driving transformations to address patient needs. I collaborate closely with cross-functional teams across R&D and beyond, focusing on data strategy, standardizing data management practices, and building robust data foundations. 

As a leader, I prioritize building high-performing teams and promoting data literacy through training programs, ensuring that the organization is equipped with the skills needed to succeed in today’s rapidly evolving landscape.
