About Rahul Khairnar
I work at the intersection of evidence, strategy, and access, helping organizations make clearer decisions about how innovative therapies deliver value in the real world.My experience spans health economics and outcomes strategy across oncology, rare diseases, cardiovascular, neuroscience, and specialty care, with close partnership across market access, commercial, clinical, and senior leadership teams. I focus on translating complex evidence into strategic choices—particularly where payer dynamics, pricing considerations, and clinical uncertainty intersect.I’m especially interested in questions that extend beyond traditional HEOR: how evidence shapes portfolio trade-offs, how value narratives evolve across the asset lifecycle, and how organizations balance rigor with speed in high-stakes environments.In parallel, I teach PhD-level coursework in outcomes research, which reinforces methodological rigor while sharpening how I communicate complex ideas and develop talent.I value conversations with leaders who are rethinking how evidence, access, and strategy come together to shape the future of healthcare.
