When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? I have always loved planning and organizing, so for the longest time I wanted to work in some sort of event planning.

Why did you join Medidata? I was contracting as a data manager for a pharma company and wanted to do something different that would allow me to the knowledge that I had gained as a data manager.

Where did you work before Medidata? GlaxoSmithKline.

What is your favorite project or moment during your time at Medidata? I will always remember the very early days of the Medidata UK offices, some lifelong friendships were made in those early days.

What's your advice for others looking for opportunities in Professional Services?  Be open to learning from your clients and those around you.

If you could be anyone who would you be? My grandmother, an amazingly strong woman and matriarch in our family, and inspiration to me every day.

When she’s not at work you can find Vaishali... reading a good book or baking.
