New Delhi [India], March 25: Patti White, the Co-founder and CEO of Hemex Health, has been honored with the prestigious ET Inspiring Women Leaders Awards at the ET Women Conclave held at Gurugram. The event was organized by the Times Group to recognize exceptional contributions by women leaders across various fields.
Patti White is the Co-founder and CEO of Hemex Health, bringing over 25 years of experience in medical technology. Throughout her career, she has launched over 20 successful products, many tailored for emerging markets. Her expertise spans various medical fields, including cardiology, critical care, pain medicine, ophthalmology, behavioural health, and diagnostics. Prior to founding Hemex Health, Patti held significant roles, such as leading marketing for Hewlett Packard's $400 million PC business and its $100 million Cardiology division. She has also been instrumental in startups that developed low-cost patient monitors, achieving sales exceeding $100 million.
Patti's advice to the young girls:
"I advise young women aspiring to excel in health technology to build a strong foundation in fields such as biomedical engineering, artificial intelligence, regulatory affairs, or data science. Understanding the business side of healthcare is equally crucial. Developing effective communication skills and cultivating a supportive network are essential steps toward success. Recognizing that women in science may encounter biases, I encourage resilience in overcoming obstacles. As you progress in your careers, remember to 'pay it forward' by mentoring other young women in your sphere. Aligning your work with personal values and interests is fundamental to achieving fulfillment and making a meaningful impact in the field."
A quote she believes in- "Find your passion in life and live your best, joyous life. And if you can, leave the world a better place for your having lived."
