Vikram Rajan

I'm driving towards a re-imagined future of healthcare delivery that applies biomedical innovation to improve effectiveness and affordability by orders of magnitude. I've challenged myself to explore the strategic, legal, and technical realities of biomedicine and the innovation economy, each through professional experiences and graduate education. Now, I am applying my diverse experiences to address strategic challenges holding biomedical companies back from transforming healthcare delivery. My work experience includes Healthcare Investment Banking at Goldman Sachs, focusing on business development for growth stage biotech companies, and Management Consulting at Deloitte, focusing on sales and intellectual property strategy. I graduated with a JD-MBA from Kellogg, with courses in Healthcare, Strategy, Finance, Business Law, and Intellectual Property. I’m also a patent attorney admitted to the Illinois bar and registered with the USPTO. In my spare time, I enjoy piloting planes, having earned my Private Pilot Certificate when I was 17. While at Northwestern, I was committed to the Healthcare community, which I contributed to through various clubs, such as co-chairing the Kellogg Business of Healthcare Conference. I also enjoy outdoor activities, including hiking, urban exploration, and road trips, and enjoy spending personal time in the gym. -------- Functional Expertise and Focus Areas: Biotechnology, Medical Device Design, Business Development, Strategy, Finance, Partnerships, Sales, Negotiation, Intellectual Property, Contracting, Biomedical Engineering, Business Law, Analytical Reasoning, Relationship Management, Innovation Management, Project Management, Additive Manufacturing (i.e., 3D printing)
