Sachin leads the Center’s strategic efforts to a) help the organization recognize the strategic implications of environmental issues impacting valuation of and access to Pfizer therapies; b) develop and test prototypes and consider systematically embedding them within internal processes of the organization to better position Pfizer to demonstrate value and gain market access for assets at launch; c) develop, execute, and evaluate innovative experimental approaches to address access, pricing, or valuation challenges for Pfizer assets being raised by payers and; d) spearhead efforts with strong technical underpinnings to develop and/or support Pfizer’s approach to access and value and shape external practices over time to create a more receptive environment for Pfizer assets.

Under Sachin’s leadership and vision, the Center has been accelerating the pipeline of approaches to solving for the environmental challenges, such as leveraging joint EMA/HTA advice pathways, EMA adaptive licensing approaches, and systematic patient engagement to optimize drug development planning and access at launch. The Center identifies innovative pricing and financing solutions for new drugs, including those for curative treatments such as gene therapies, to address payer concerns about prices and budget impact. In 2016, Sachin was named an emerging pharma leader by PharmaExec.com.
