Meet Arvita:

A Bold Leader in Life Sciences Innovation

I am a product and programs executive with 15+ years of experience launching and scaling 30+ regulated products, driving $2B+ in revenue across biopharma, medtech, and digital health. I’ve led pricing, monetization, and GTM strategies that unlocked $81M for Gilead (NASDAQ: GILD), drove 200%+ revenue growth for startups, delivered a 57% ROI for LabCorp (NYSE: LH) ), and earned in 5 promotions or portfolio expansions over my executive career. Expert in product strategy, compliance, and operational scale to drive growth in highly regulated industries.

What drives me: Throughout my career, I've been passionate about improving patient outcomes through technology innovation. I'm particularly focused on making clinical trials more accessible to underrepresented populations by developing inclusive product designs and implementation processes that address diverse needs and reduce barriers to participation.

My proudest accomplishment: As a founding team member at Korio Clinical, built and scaled the product, technology, and operational foundation that powered 200%+ revenue growth, a 3.8x expansion in ARR, and a $25M+ revenue pipeline. Defined the strategic product framework and compliance automation that enabled a successful 8-product portfolio launch, driving 233% growth in signed clinical trials and a 7x increase in contract value (ACV). Secured flagship enterprise customers, including a top 5 biopharma on track for $3M ARR, and supported $12.3M in venture funding (Seed+ and Series A). Led product strategy, P&L ownership, and interim engineering leadership — implementing AI-powered automation that scaled operations 6x, improved gross margins, and positioned the platform as a category leader.

With a foundation in compliance engineering, an MBA in Marketing & Strategic Management, and deep experience bringing AI products to market, my approach harmonizes innovation with compliance, expediting time-to-market. I have worked on partnerships with Sanofi, Novartis, Moderna, Gilead, and bluebird bio to name a few.
