Data is my Middle Name

Welcome!

Thanks for stopping by! My name is Jane Urban and I am a self-described data geek and technophile, working to bring business strategy and data, digital and technology together! I have a passion for biotech and pharmaceutical product commercialization as a pathway to better outcomes for patients in need. I build incredible solutions through my servant leadership approach, forming high-performing teams and developing the leaders of the future!

Looking to develop a new role, new team, new department? I leverage a unique combination of skills to innovate and deliver impactful results with diverse, trusting, high-functioning teams.

I have worked in industry and consulting, always focused on biopharma, from start-up to top 10. I can find the root causes for business challenges, frame the problem, drive toward alignment, get the resources needed, solve it, and make it sustainable. I have 10+ years people management experience and have hired 50+ employees who are still growing and rising in their careers 

I was recently named the Top 40 Under 40 Data Leaders by CDO Magazine in 2023 and again in 2024! and Reuters Trailblazers in Pharma 2024!
