Born in Saudi Arabia and raised in India, FA developed a global perspective and a strong belief in the power of education. Boarding school instilled resilience, while national debates, team sports, and skating reflected his competitive spirit and drive. Influenced by role models like his grandmother, a women’s literacy advocate, he came to see education as a tool for empowerment. At Carnegie Mellon University, he explored bio-inspired materials for healthcare, deepening his interest in science-driven impact.

These early experiences shaped his path in R&D. With over seven years of experience in the healthcare industry, FA led wound care product development and contributed to global regulatory and commercial efforts that supported successful launches. Through this work, he developed a deep passion for medical innovation and a commitment to creating patient-centred solutions that address care gaps and expand access. FA approached us to help articulate this vision, aligning his personal motivations with a focused, purpose-driven career narrative.
