Gauri is a research assistant at Pioneer. She holds a B.S. in Biological Sciences and Development Sociology from Cornell University, where she developed a keen interest in healthcare systems and the factors that shape patient care. She began her career in healthcare consulting, working on operational initiatives within health systems and helping optimize hospital processes to improve patient care and efficiency. Her interest in bridging business, policy, and public health led her to pursue a joint MBA/MPH at Yale, where she spent two summers working in pharmaceutical communications strategy and health policy consulting. Across these experiences, Gauri has focused on building the skills to drive structural change and make healthcare more accessible, equitable, and patient-centered. She is now based in Boston, beginning her career in commercial pharmaceuticals at Takeda, where she is focused on bridging stakeholder strategy and execution.
