What I bring: In customer success and strategic account management, I own the full customer lifecycle—from onboarding and customer adoption to customer health monitoring, QBRs, renewal strategy, customer engagement, expansion, and long-term Net Revenue Retention (NRR), and account expansion into multi-million dollar partnerships. At Alethi, I quarterbacked end-to-end engagements with pharma accounts (Ultragenyx, Ipsen, Adium) across Medical Affairs, Regulatory, and C-level stakeholders — translating clinical AI capabilities into measurable business outcomes and real-world evidence (RWE). In GTM strategy and commercial leadership, I've built go-to-market playbooks from zero, defined ICPs, managed pipeline and quota attainment, and closed enterprise deals in complex, multi-stakeholder environments. At Gartner (Winner Circle 2019 & 2020, Eagle Award 2017), I consistently exceeded quota selling to CIOs, CFOs, and CDOs across Brazil's largest corporations. In product marketing and sales enablement, I develop positioning, messaging, competitive battlecards, and clinical evidence packages that give sales teams an unfair advantage. I've repositioned a clinical AI platform's TAM from a clinical tool to a pharma marketing channel — creating a new category of value. In life sciences and healthcare analytics, I work at the intersection of clinical AI, real-world data (RWD/RWE), pharma commercial strategy, and rare disease intelligence.
