Zara Baker

MIT-TRAINED CHIEF MARKETING & INNOVATION OFFICER

As a seasoned business leader and a former scientist with over 16 years of experience, I excel in developing marketing and digital strategies that drive profitability, growth, and long-term value creation.

My expertise includes digital and AI transformation, product marketing, and brand launch, with much of my experience focusing on the healthcare and technology sectors in agency and corporate settings.

My passion lies in bridging the communication gap between science and people through artful storytelling that goes beyond digital and physical mediums. Using a creatively driven, AI-facilitated approach, I have successfully spearheaded double-digit growth for companies like Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Takeda, Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Verizon, and Novartis, along with over 20 startups in the digital health, SaaS, and biotech space.

My interdisciplinary educational background includes degrees in biology (2008), digital media and marketing (2010), and artificial intelligence (2024) from Edinburgh Business School (EBS), UK, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
