About Sarah Valentine
From strategy to execution, I transform bold healthcare ideas into real-world impact. As a Commercialization Lead at Digitalis Commons, I work with innovators to design and execute programs that introduce new solutions to the field. These solutions not only solve the most pressing problems in health and healthcare, but have the technical, financial, and commercial strategy backbone to be scalable and sustainable within the industry.At the Digital Medicine Society (DiMe), I spent 3.5 years building partnerships, leading multi-stakeholder collaborations, and delivering guidance that’s shaping the future of digital measurement. From launching countless DiMe projects, initiatives, and coalitions to leading a flagship project in pediatric rare diseases, I’ve worked across public and private settings to move innovation from “what if” to “we did it.”Prior to that, I served as a Digital Implementation Lead on Eli Lilly\'s Emerging Digital Medicine team. There, I led highly cross-functional projects to develop and implement innovative technologies as digital measures, interventions, and enablers across both drug and device trials. I also led Lilly\'s COVID-19 Drive-Thru Testing Facility device management team, where I managed a team of around 40 volunteers and contract employees to enable testing of 20K+ individuals in the local Indianapolis community. As an MBA candidate at Chicago Booth, I’m leaning into the intersection of commercialization, strategy, and innovation in pharma, biotech, healthtech, and public health, always with my North Star in mind: bringing cures and hope to patients faster.
