As a Managing Partner at Population Health Partners (PHP), I work alongside a team of innovators, strategists, and veteran drug developers to build important new companies and advance new technologies with the potential for transformative impact in highly prevalent diseases.
Prior to co-founding PHP, I led Business Development for The Medicines Company, a role which culminated in the sale of the company to Novartis for $9.7Bn in early 2020. Before MDCO I spent several years in McKinsey & Company's Pharmaceuticals and Medical Products practice, where I specialized in portfolio and corporate strategy for early-stage biotechs, as well as commercial strategy for Top 20 pharmacos.
Before McKinsey I worked in the arts, as a Fulbright Scholar in Latvia and then Director of Development at the International Contemporary Ensemble.
