Bio:
Shikha Singhal
Shikha leads the Data Science practice at Axtria. She is the force behind productionizing AI/ML at many of the top global life sciences companies. As someone who understands the scope and scale of AI/ML applications within our industry, I can attest that this role comes with a lot of responsibility and requires a tremendous amount of experience and knowledge. And Shikha has no shortage of both. In fact, she is one of the very few leaders I know who have such an extensive array of experience across the life sciences domain, business operations, data analytics, and building new capabilities and solutions. But it’ll be a miss if I don't mention the expertise that probably matters the most - it's her ability to build, train, and effectively scale teams. Shikha is truly a champion when it comes to developing and solidifying culture, enabling the teams to reach their potential. This is what I call her "superpower", which alone sets her so far apart from the other data science leaders. Shikha has spent over two decades in the Life Sciences industry and her impact can be seen not only at Axtria but at all the global life sciences companies she has helped throughout her career.
