Consulting Projects

During my third consulting project, I served as the Team Lead/ Liaison for a collaboration with bioMérieux, a global leader in in vitro diagnostics specializing in microbiology, immunoassays, and molecular biology. In this role, I managed cross-functional coordination by ensuring effective communication, timely deliverables updates, and facilitating consensus-building and conflict resolution when differing viewpoints arose, helping the team maintain momentum throughout the project. I also led structured team meetings, delegated tasks based on individual expertise, and held members accountable for deadlines and deliverables. The project focused on analyzing the competitive landscape of blood culture downstream diagnostics, including molecular identification (ID), antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST), and emerging rapid diagnostic tools, while also evaluating competitors’ technologies and pipeline innovations. Additionally, we conducted a market gap analysis by comparing clinically significant pathogens with those currently claimed in leading anaerobic and aerobic blood culture bottles. This helped identify diagnostic blind spots, growth challenges, and opportunities for bioMérieux to expand clinical value.
