ABOUT HIBA AZIM
I am a healthcare professional working at the intersection of medical affairs, scientific delivery, and innovation, with a background spanning pharmaceutical services, research, partnerships, and complex programme delivery.With a Chemistry PhD, GPhC-registered Pharmacy Technician experience, and senior roles in healthcare innovation and delivery, I bring a rare combination of scientific credibility, clinical understanding, and commercial pragmatism. My work has focused on translating complex science into real-world outcomes — whether supporting clinicians and pharmacy teams, delivering multi-stakeholder healthcare programmes, or building partnerships that accelerate innovation in life sciences.I currently work as a Healthcare Project Delivery Manager, leading cross-functional teams through change, ambiguity, and tight timelines while maintaining regulatory awareness and stakeholder alignment. Alongside this, I am a Partner at Innovation Forum, where I have led strategic partnerships, fundraising, due diligence, and global collaboration across biotech, deep tech, investors, and academic institutions.Earlier in my career, working directly within hospital and outpatient pharmacy settings gave me a first-hand understanding of medicines optimisation, clinical decision-making, and patient safety — grounding my work in the realities of healthcare delivery and medical governance.Core strengths:Medical & scientific communication • Stakeholder engagement • Cross-functional leadership • Healthcare delivery • Translational innovation • Change management • Evidence-based decision-making
