B06. AI in Action: Bridging Innovation and Practicality in Clinical Trial
Biography
I am basically a huge nerd and proud of that fact.
Ten years ago, I moved from advertising and marketing into management consultancy and service design, focusing on innovation, digital strategy and commercialisation, working with health, government and education clients at a State and Federal level. I have worked as a C-level executive at an ASX listed SaMD company and also co-founded a health-tech start up and built it from scratch, navigating the company through investment and commercialisation.
Supporting this, my experience spans human-centred design, operations, brand strategy, visual communication and design, product ownership / management, and marketing and communications.
I have worked across almost every industry and for every sort of company (from start ups to multinationals), however my passion now lies in innovation, service design, digital transformation and commercialisation from an operational and leadership perspective — embedding innovation as a core business competency in STEM organisations and developing high quality, impact driven and fun teams.
I am the Innovation Manager at Commercial Eyes, responsible for driving and managing innovation initiatives and services offerings related to market access, market research and market intelligence of Commercial Eyes.
