PRODUCT MANAGEMENT
Giving Life to an Idea
My early experience with solution deployment in hospital environment kicked off my keen interest in product management. As an implementer, I had to constantly ask myself- what purpose does this serve? How does this help my user? I keep user focus front ans center in my work augmented by commercial and engineering knowledge.
Products/Roadmaps I have managed:
In-hospital Location tracking system for medical devices
IV medication management dashboard
Interoperability for medical devices
Digital Health ecosystem

STARTUPS & VENTURE CAPITAL
The price of the value you add
I interned as a VC in the corporate VC arm of a conglomorate. During my stint as a VC associate, I got to understand how you would evaluate a start up in an conventional/disruptive market.
​
A year after my internship I competed in the University of Chicago's annual startup competition and made it to all but the final round. For the startup I headed the interoperability organization and as a team the value we brought was in making the hospital billing process faster, better and cheaper for everyone involved. Being a part of an early stage startup was a lot of learning and growing even without including the pandemic factor that was in play. The importance of clearly enunciating the value you bring, hustling and a good team can never be overstated.
Based on my experiences so far, I try to help startups/teams in navigating the complex space of digital health.try to help

INDEPENDENT PROJECTS
Dabbling with independent projects
​For many years, I taught toddlers during after school activities. "Explain like I am five" takes new meaning when you spend years actually doing that. It taught me to adjust the way I talk depending on the audience.
​
While in business school, I helped a Chicago based after school dance program with market segmentation and a path to their revenue targets while accomodating scholarships for underprivileged children.
​
My most recent project has been with a local division of Salvation Army trying to alter their Christmas intake to fit the pandemic world.
​
Everyone of these projects have taught me more about myself and how I deal with work and life.
