I am a CEO and medical writer ✍, with nearly 2 decades of experience in regulatory, medical, and scientific communications, market access, and strategy in the pharma, biotech, and medical devices industries 🤓 As a natural-born leader and neurodiverse with autism spectrum disorder 1 (ASD1), I thrive in taking charge and untangling problems, creating innovative process- and system-based solutions with my alternative-thinking mind 🧠 Whether it is strategising communications objectives for clients, empowering patients about their illnesses, teaching and training my team, organising expat networking events, or being the Chair of my local community centre, helping others is at the heart of everything I do ❤️ As a person of Indian heritage born and raised in the UK, I am proud to be a person of colour, and lead a team of talented and diverse individuals from a range of backgrounds, which help us deliver better for our clients 🙌🏾 My mission is to help bring life-changing and life-saving medicinal products to market and patients 💊 I am passionate about viable alternatives for mental health treatments, including psychedelics.

This led me to believe no person should be left behind, regardless of the type of disease or illness or how rare it is 🤗 Being ASD1 has its pluses and minuses, so I am intrigued by current research that could produce treatments that will help people like me manage our condition better. I am also a patient living with Graves disease and thyroid eye disease (TED); over a dozen companies are currently developing treatments for TED, that could be life-changing and in some cases life-saving, helping us look and feel better about our eyes 👀 Outside of work, I can be found at the gym very early morning 🏋‍♂️, or on a Latin dancefloor dancing Salsa, Bachata, and Kizomba at the weekend🕺I love to travel ✈, and during my 5 wonderful years living and working in Germany 🇩🇪, I took the opportunity to explore Europe 🇪🇺, which exposed me to different cultures, customs, and traditions, and opened up my mind to different ways of life 🌍 I am a polyglot and grew up multilingual, speaking English, Gujarati, Hindi, and Urdu at home, learned French at school, German in Germany, Polish in Poland, and also learned some Spanish and Italian along the way 💬🗨 I love meeting new people, making friends, enjoying fun and stimulating conversations, and drinking tea 🍵 So, let's catch up for a virtual a ☕
