How This Takeda Technology Exec Is Embracing The Possibilities

Takeda's Nishtha Jain on resilience, authenticity, and creating your own path.

I've had the opportunity to connect with and learn from executives of major brands at MediaPost's Insider Summits. In the process I've discovered some truly impressive women -- not only for the work they do, but their stories behind the scenes. With Brand Insider: BTS, I get to pull back the curtain on some of the most influential women marketers as they talk about their path to success: the twists and turns, obstacles, inspirations and the valuable lessons learned along the way. 

What’s the biggest leap you’ve ever taken, either personally or professionally? For Nishtha Jain it was for both. Takeda’s head of innovation & technology opens up about her journey from New Delhi to the U.S., from student loans to a leadership role in healthcare. In this episode of Brand Insider: BTS, Nishtha shares how her path from aspiring doctor to data-driven technology strategist was anything but traditional. Discovering along the way that changing lives isn’t limited to the exam room — it's also done behind the scenes, through digital innovation and healthcare technology. Nishtha also opens up about leading with empathy in a male-dominated industry, her shift from FOMO to JOMO — and how she’s learned to be present and intentional in today’s noisy, digital world. Watch the full conversation in the video above!
