Ravi Nalliah
Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, TrakCel
TrakCel is described as a clinical orchestration platform for regenerative and cell-based therapies. “As a passionate innovator working in a relatively conservative industry I thought that my passion would win over my colleagues when trying to create space for my companies to innovate. However, for innovation to flourish, passion can only get a leadership team so far. I now work hard to develop detailed cases for all activities so that my vision will appeal to all the personality types in my leadership team. TrakCel’s software is primarily used to support cell and gene therapy products. And it’s regrettable that, due to the complexity associated with the manufacture and administration of these products, the price tag tends to be high. But these treatments are curative, and I would like to see healthcare payers considering the accumulative reduction in healthcare costs once patients are treated with these therapies.”
