Helen Stewart has over 20 years’ experience in life sciences, specialising in digital innovation, strategy and commercial growth across global pharma and healthcare. She is passionate about closing the women’s health gap, with a particular focus on tackling data bias and the historic under representation of women in research. Helen is committed to improving how data are generated, governed and used so that emerging technologies – especially AI – deliver more equitable, evidence based outcomes for women. Helen spent much of her executive career at IQVIA, where she led cross functional teams working in medical affairs, real world evidence, clinical operations and AI/ML software development across the US, Europe and Asia.

Now, as an advisor to start ups and established companies, Helen shapes business model, fundraising and go to market strategy, and leads AI implementation and governance initiatives that enable collaboration between established and emerging organisations.
