Victoria Gamerman
Global Head of Data Governance and Insights, Boehringer-Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
I am passionate about improving healthcare by connecting the dots among patient-centricity, digital health, and real-world evidence to evolve clinical research through innovation and digital transformation. In my current role as Global Head of Data Governance and Insights, I am accountable for shaping the data strategy and data governance for Clinical Development and Operations. Previously, I was the Head of Health Informatics and Analytics where I established the strategic priorities and led a team of data scientists who executed use cases to generate evidence from external clinical data and real-world health care data in support of drug development. I have formal training with a PhD and MS in Biostatistics from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and MA/BA in Mathematics from Boston University. I am also trained in Scrum/Agile methodologies (Product Owner and Scrum Master) as well as Design Thinking. I occasionally teach in the Applied Analytics program as an Adjunct Scholar-Professional Lecturer at Columbia University on Strategy & Analytics as well as Research Design. I enjoy connecting with others who support the use of data to generate insights, especially with innovative applications to advance the health of patients!
