Axtria Honors Visionary Leaders at Ignite 2025 for Transforming Life Sciences with AI and Patient-Centric Innovations

    Annual flagship conference convenes 400+ industry changemakers to explore next-gen therapies, AI-driven transformations, and the future that puts the patient at the heart of the pharma operations

    Axtria Inc., an AI-first data analytics company empowering the life sciences industry, successfully hosted Axtria Ignite 2025 on June 4–5 in Princeton, NJ. The flagship annual conference convened over 400 senior industry leaders to explore bold ideas, actionable strategies, and AI-powered innovations reshaping the future of healthcare.

    This year’s Ignite delved into how life sciences companies are evolving in three high-impact areas: accelerating commercialization of next-gen therapies like rare, orphan, cell, and gene treatments; driving patient-centric transformation at every stage of the value chain; and embracing AI and Agentic AI to unlock new levels of agility, personalization, and decision-making—backed by powerful case studies from the field.

    As part of the event, Axtria presented its annual Ignite Leadership Awards, recognizing trailblazing leaders driving change across the industry. The 2025 honorees were:

    • Greg Meyers, EVP and Chief Digital & Technology Officer, Bristol Myers Squibb
    • Ritesh Mehra, CFO, Ferring Pharmaceuticals U.S.
    • Madhavi Ramakrishna, SVP, Enterprise AI & Chief Digital and Technology Officer – Commercial, GSK
    • Stephanie Odutola, Executive Director, U.S. Sales Force Operations, AstraZeneca
    • Vikram Singh, VP & Global Head, Commercial IT Data Analytics and DSAI, Novartis

    "These leaders exemplify what it means to harness innovation, data, and technology to deliver better outcomes for patients,” said Jaswinder Chadha, President and CEO of Axtria. “Celebrating their achievements at Axtria Ignite 2025 and presenting them with this well-deserved recognition was truly a privilege."
