Miriam Donaldson, Owner

After completing her undergraduate degree in Biology and Psychology at the University of Virginia, Miriam built credibility as a bench scientist at Johns Hopkins Medical School. She then experienced first-hand the excitement and demands of a pioneering genomics biotech start-up going through an IPO. While studying for her MBA at Harvard Business School, she identified a goal that would define her future career: cultivating innovation and technology in the healthcare space while delivering shareholder value. After HBS, Miriam joined Novartis where she has shaped and been shaped by the unique opportunities offered by a leading global pharma company. She has lived and worked in Basel, Switzerland for nearly 20 years where she and her husband have raised two multi-cultural children, managed their global careers, and earned Swiss citizenship. Outside of work she enjoys the Swiss alps and exploring the world through the eyes of her children.
