Amisha Raikar is a highly motivated individual with a strong educational background in the field of pharmaceutics. She completed her Bachelor of Pharmacy (B-Pharm) from Goa University in 2022, which laid the foundation for her journey into the pharmaceutical industry. Building upon her undergraduate degree, Amisha decided to pursue Master of Pharmacy (M-Pharm) in pharmaceutical science and formulation development. Recognising the importance of expanding her skill set beyond the technical aspects of pharmaceuticals, she embarked on a Postgraduate Diploma in International Business Management from the Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU). Amisha's passion for learning and her desire to contribute to the field of pharmaceuticals has fueled her interest in pursuing a Ph.D. With her strong educational background, practical experience, and an eagerness to pursue further studies, Amisha Raikar is poised to make significant contributions to the field of pharmaceuticals through her future endeavours, such as a Ph.D. program.

Sue Lee has worked for World Courier for 25 years. During this time she has experienced a variety of customer service and operational functions, including the setting up of numerous, multi-national, clinical sites for the transportation of biological samples. She orchestrated the shipping of thousands of shipments with very specific temperature requirements to a host of challenging locations, and each presenting their own obstacles and dilemmas.

Barbara works closely with leaders across pharmaceutical, medical devices and solution providers serving healthcare organisations - all of whom are using digital product identities.
Much of her time is spent with product owners and senior leaders in packaging, operations, anti-counterfeit, manufacturing, and with system integrators. She is focused on protecting patient safety at scale, serving leadership with trusted data and improving efficiency through innovative solutions.

Barbara's background spans innovation strategy, partnership development, marketing and commercial roles and cross-functional leadership in highly regulated settings. She is known for her collaborative and pragmatic approach, working alongside teams to explore long-term roadmaps that balance progress with responsibility.

Barbara cares deeply about how healthcare systems evolve without compromising what matters most. She is always open to conversations with leaders who are navigating similar challenges and looking to move forward responsibly.
