Priyanka Dutta Passecker MBA,

I bring a unique blend of deep scientific expertise, entrepreneurial leadership, and global business acumen to the boardroom. With a PhD in Neuroscience, dual Executive MBAs, and over a decade of leadership across biotech, pharma, and healthtech, I have successfully founded, scaled, and advised companies at the intersection of science, business, and innovation.
As a CEO, board member, and strategic advisor, I have built companies from the ground up, secured multimillion-euro partnerships, led global market entry strategies, and guided organizations through regulatory, funding, and commercialization milestones. My strength lies in forging strategic partnerships, scaling innovative platforms, and de-risking complex science-to-market transitions.
The companies that benefit most from my expertise are:
• Biotech, cell therapy, animal health, and pharma ventures developing breakthrough therapies in neuroscience, skin health, wound healing, or regenerative medicine.
• Digital health, medtech, and cosmetic companies leveraging AI, biomarkers, or computational models to transform diagnostics, personalized treatments, and consumer health.
• Health, wellness, and consumer care startups and scale-ups bridging animal and human health, seeking global market expansion, strategic partnerships in Europe, Asia, and the US.

Beyond the boardroom, I’m a dedicated mentor and passionate advocate for women in STEM and business. As co-founder and board member of the WU EA Female Leaders Network—I’m committed to fostering inclusive leadership and empowering the next generation of changemakers.

I am particularly effective for organizations that are bridging science and commercialization, where board-level strategic vision, investor relations, and cross-border market expertise are key drivers of growth.
