Rafaat Rahmani
Founder and President, Lifescience Dynamics
“Looking back now, the point where my career really took shape was when I was completing my MBA at Manchester University. The careers service published a dossier of all the MBA students’ CVs and circulated it. Eli Lilly & Company then came to our campus and called me for an interview. I had not thought about the pharmaceutical industry before now, and in truth, I just went for the interview experience. However, I was lucky enough to be offered a job on the spot. I knew that pharmaceutical companies were very competitive and as I did not have a background in that field, I was honored that they saw something in me. That interview with Eli Lilly set me on the path that would eventually lead me to start Lifescience Dynamics.”
