Product Strategy & Design Lead

I led cross-functional teams in developing innovative digital solutions aimed at transforming healthcare.


Focusing on user-centric design, I spearheaded projects that improved patient outcomes and streamlined processes for healthcare professionals. By leveraging AI and agile methodologies, I delivered scalable platforms for managing complex diseases like diabetes and cervical cancer, aligning user needs with Roche’s mission to advance medical innovation globally.

Challenge Roche – Transforming Cervical Cancer Screening

1. Context & Business Challenge

1. Context & Business Challenge

Cervical cancer screening in hospitals and clinics faced major inefficiencies:

  • Lack of patient follow-up: Many patients failed to complete the required tests, increasing late diagnoses.

  • Manual data management: High risk of human error and lack of standardization across different medical centers.

  • Slow response times: Physicians lacked clear prioritization of high-risk cases.

  • Global scalability: Roche needed a flexible solution adaptable to multiple markets and regulatory frameworks.

Key Business Objectives:

  • Increase patient adherence to the screening process by at least 20%.

  • Reduce diagnostic turnaround time for positive cases by 30%.

  • Improve efficiency for medical staff, decreasing administrative workload and wait times.

  • Scale the solution globally, ensuring compliance with diverse healthcare regulations.
