Digital Health & CVRM Innovation Leader | Transforming Healthcare Through Technology & Science
I'm a strategic healthcare product leader with over 20 years of experience translating bench research into bedside therapeutic solutions across cardiovascular, renal, and metabolic (CVRM) diseases. Currently leading CVRM digital health strategy at Genentech/Roche, I leverage deep domain expertise in obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease to drive patient-centered digital innovations.
My journey spans from developing artificial pancreas systems and insulin management algorithms at Mayo Clinic and Roche Diabetes Care, to architecting enterprise-wide digital health strategies at Genentech & launching Class IIb regulated clinical decision support products.
With an MBA from the Carlson School of Management and MS in Electrical Engineering, I bridge fundamental cardio-vascular & metabolic research with clinical application through validated AI/ML solutions and digital endpoints in regulated environments. I'm passionate about accelerating the bench-to-bedside translation of scientific discoveries into meaningful patient outcomes.
Driving comprehensive digital health strategy for cardiovascular-metabolic diseases, leading cross-functional teams to integrate digital biomarkers and endpoints with late-stage clinical development and regulatory submission strategies.
Responsible for design and implementation of a lean innvoation framework & cross business operating model to enable accelaration of SaMD development and maintaining scientific rigor.
Led development of Clinical Decision Support product line, & launched Class IIa & Class IIb regulated CDS product for diabetes management across 5 European markets, Argentina, and India.
Led early development of insulin dosing algorithms including artificial pancreas (AID) systems and adaptive bolus advisor systems, translating fundamental glucose homeostasis understanding into therapeutic algorithms.
Designed advanced physical activity monitors for physical actvity and fitness monitoring & its relationship with cardiovascuar & metabolic health. Developed integrated physiological models for closed-loop insulin delivery. Advisor for multiple startups in Obesity prevention area.
