New Chapter: Leading AI & Data Science in Global Drug Development at Novartis
I am excited to announce a new chapter in my career: I have joined Novartis in Basel as the Global Head of Data Science and AI for Global Drug Development.
My mission is clear: to accelerate how we bring medicines to patients. The opportunity is unprecedented. AI can fundamentally change the speed and precision of drug development—from candidate optimization through clinical trials and CMC to regulatory submission.
Novartis has one of the industry’s most innovative pipelines. My focus will be on building AI capabilities and solutions that compress timelines at scale without compromising rigor. We will be applying Digital Twins, Agentic Systems, and Decision Intelligence to the toughest problems in global drug development.
On a personal note, my family and I are excited to make Switzerland our new home. Time to hit the slopes!
