Being able to strategically lead and oversee global complex clinical trials, coach and guide my team, collaborate with external and internal stakeholders, collaborate with the vendors, foresee risks and implement timely mitigation measures, continue to be agile to change management, ability to navigate through fluid/challenging situations, while being inclusive, respectful and empathetic, is what makes me a leader.

Clear decision making, effective communication, tailoring to the audience, funneling the right level of information upwards and cascading the guidance downwards, identifying process gaps and building efficiency where/as needed, keeping my team motivated and fostering a positive/growth mindset and lastly being able to wear multiple hats, with the final goal to make a positive impact to the lives of patient’s globally is what makes me a Clinical Trials Leader.
