About Christi Lindh

I’m a patient advocacy leader with deep experience partnering with rare disease communities to elevate patient voice and embed patient-centricity across biotech and pharmaceutical organizations.Over the course of my career, I’ve built and sustained trusted relationships with patient advocacy organizations, caregivers, and healthcare professionals, translating community insights into meaningful advocacy strategies that support clinical development, trial recruitment, commercialization, and disease awareness. I’m known for working seamlessly across medical, clinical, commercial, legal, compliance, and government affairs teams to ensure advocacy initiatives are strategic, compliant, and impactful.My expertise spans patient advocacy strategy and execution, external engagement, stakeholder meetings and advisory boards, grants and sponsorship management, digital engagement, and cross-functional program leadership. I’ve led global and U.S. advocacy initiatives, identified and addressed gaps in disease education resources, and helped organizations better reflect patient perspectives in decision-making processes.At my core, I’m motivated by ensuring patients and caregivers are heard, respected, and meaningfully represented, not as an afterthought, but as a central driver of strategy. I thrive in environments where collaboration, empathy, and operational excellence come together to improve outcomes for patients and families.I’m especially passionate about roles where advocacy is treated as a strategic partner across the organization, not a silo.
