With over two decades of professional experience, my expertise in macroeconomics and emerging markets has been the cornerstone of my career, currently serving as Senior Director and Regional Head for Corporate Economics at Abbott. At the core, my mission is to leverage economic insights to foster growth and resilience in pharma-nutrition, diagnostics, and medical devices sectors. My role at Abbott aligns with my dedication to transformative strategies that resonate with the company\'s mission to improve lives across diverse global markets.In my tenure at Abbott, I have applied my deep understanding of pricing strategy, risk management, and the Middle East, Africa, Pakistan, and Turkey\'s economies to navigate complex market dynamics. Previously, as Chief Economist at Bank ABC, my insights into global and industry economics significantly contributed to our credit and risk group, informing strategic decisions in the MENA region, Turkey, and Brazil. My work weaves together a profound economic analysis with the practical needs of the healthcare industry, embodying a commitment to economic precision and strategic foresight.
