Shruti Agarwal, PhD, MBA

During my ~15 years of cross-functional leadership roles at Novartis, I found that despite many efforts from the industry, patients still don't have access to the right information and tools when they need them the most. With NeedleSpotter, this is what I am focusing on.

With a PhD in biosciences, a background in pharmacy, and an MBA in marketing and strategy, and experience across medical affairs, analytics, and marketing - I bring a unique blend of scientific expertise, strategic insight, and marketing acumen to the biopharma industry.

If you are a marketer who is reading this, know that I have likely been in your shoes and understand your challenges and priorities. A quick conversation is always welcome!
