About me: Originally from Malaysia, I moved to the UK to pursue a pharmacy degree, later specialising as a clinical pharmacist in oncology. Following several years in frontline care, I transitioned into commercial-facing management roles within the NHS, where I focused on innovation, biopharmaceutical R&D and manufacturing. I have worked closely with leadership in both industry and academia to bring novel therapies to patients and improve the way care is delivered.
As an MBA candidate at LBS, I’m now looking to expand my strategic and leadership expertise to make a broader impact in biopharmaceuticals. I am particularly excited about driving early-stage drug discovery and turning innovative concepts into reality—advancing therapies from bench to bedside while exploring entrepreneurial ventures that shape the future of healthcare.
Beyond work, I enjoy travelling, visiting art galleries and finding inspiration in new cultures and ideas that enrich both my personal and professional life.
Three topics I can be approached for: Healthcare; pharmaceuticals; living in London as an Asian.
