About Nivalda Pinguet

For nearly two decades, my journey in the healthcare realm has been one of continuous evolution and growth. My foundations were built as a scientist in the pharmaceutical sector, delving deep into groundbreaking research and discoveries. This scientific vigor led me to academia, where I spent four transformative years as a lecturer and researcher, surpassing expectations by completing my doctorate in Biomedical Sciences faster than most. My thirst for knowledge then propelled me into the realm of neurophysiology, where I had the privilege to be a postdoctoral scholar at the renowned California Institute of Technology.As my career advanced, I recognized the importance of melding scientific acumen with business strategy. After an intensive two-year MBA program at UCSD, I fortified my business expertise, paving the way for a rewarding five-year stint in consulting. Working for such esteemed firms as the IQVIA to PricewaterhouseCoopers, I rose to prominence as a Senior Advisor for the West Coast Pharmaceutical Advisory practice, cultivating a reputation for excellence and innovation. This journey culminated in my current role at Kaiser Permanente in Strategic Accounts, where I steward a $885M portfolio, ensuring optimal healthcare solutions for over 110K members across Kaiser Permanente’s premier regions.I look forward to meeting you!
