From an early age, technology and innovations were my motivations. In my formative years, I was inspired by my father (scientist) and mother (medical doctor). Between them, I was exposed to innovations being applied in practice, to save lives. Recovering from major life-threatening accident in early youth, I realized that technology innovations can be seamlessly integrated into public lives. For me, that was the moment of realization, where I wanted to develop technologies that not only save lives, but also enhance public health. The journey that started then, continued with knowledge sharing via academia (as a professor), international representations in UN/WHO for the country and in developing public private partnerships.
