As the current leader of the Digital Transformation Center of Excellence, I am driving the vision, strategy, and execution of digital and data transformation in clinical development and operations. My role involves implementing digital innovation and data strategies, managing the data and analytics portfolio, and collaborating with both internal teams and external partners.
Before this, as the Global Head of Data Governance and Insights, I built a team of multidisciplinary experts focused on establishing a data-appreciative mindset, ensuring quality data collection, protection, and availability, and enabling our experts to make evidence-based decisions.
I held several roles in the biostatistics and data sciences organization including leadership of teams and content around generating real-world evidence for clinical development. I am deeply involved with the data and analytics community as demonstrated through various member and leadership roles including being part of the American Statistical Association and Healthcare Businesswomen’s Association.
I am a Scholar-Professional Adjunct Professor at Columbia University teaching strategy and analytics as well as currently mentoring digital health and life sciences startups at NYU’s Stern Business School Endless Frontier Labs startup accelerator program as a data and artificial intelligence (AI) advisor. I have formal training in data science with a PhD and MS in Biostatistics from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine as well as an MA and BA in Mathematics from Boston University. Additionally, I am trained in scrum and agile methodologies (product owner and scrum master) as well as design thinking, which have defined my product- and customer-centric approaches to critical business problem solving with data and analytics.
