As the Global Lead for Health Equity and Access in the Centre for Health and Healthcare at the World Economic Forum, my aim is to drive change in Policy, Advocacy, Programmes, and Data Innovations to improve the outcomes for people who have worse health outcomes because of health inequities and inequalities. Our flagship community is the Global Health Equity Network (GHEN), consisting of more than 50+ global organisations from across 10+ industries.

I am an innovation and partnership development expert with a track record of creating impactful companies and corporate programmes including a deep focus on Health Equity over my 20+ year career spanning the US, Europe, and Asia.

Prior to joining the Forum, I was based in Singapore for 10 years where I worked with investors, insurance, media, pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and technology organisations to create ecosystems of change that include digital health solutions. My roles included Senior Adviser in Healthcare Data and Technology for the European Policy Centre, Venture Partner for Verge HealthTech Fund, Advisor for Mission Leapfrog by Roche, Steering Committee Member for Frontiers Health, and Head of Health Innovation for MetLife Asia. I am also an exited startup founder with a history of building and scaling multiple startups as a founder and non-executive board director.

My thought leadership activities as a content creator are found across multiple platforms including books, podcasts including as host of the Digital Health Today and FutureProofing Healthcare podcasts, events, and YouTube. My perspectives on the future of health is influenced by my multi-stakeholder operating experience across 20 countries.
