United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At Farmamondo, I directed regional medical strategy across autoimmune disease, oncology, rare disease, dermatology, and ophthalmology for Southeast Asia and emerging markets. I aligned scientific and commercial priorities across more than six country teams.
I secured Singapore Chronic Disease List inclusion for key oncology molecules, expanding subsidized access for hundreds of patients annually. I also built partnerships with rare-disease advocacy organizations and led clinical trial collaborations with NUH and KKH.
Previously at Servier, Novartis, Eisai, and Emcure, I drove oncology and ophthalmology launches, regulatory approvals, lifecycle planning, medical education, and advisory boards. I led MSL teams, developed scientific training programs, and supported Phase IV and post-marketing studies.
I'm an MD in Pharmacology who translates scientific evidence into access, medical, and commercial strategies that improve patient outcomes. I bring APAC experience across oncology, cardiology, autoimmune disease, rare disease, and ophthalmology.
