ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Shashank

My name is Shashank Agarwal. I am a commercial analytics expert within the healthcare space. I was very fortunate to lead data science teams at multiple fortune 500 companies including AbbVie and CVS Health. Additionally, I hold a Master of Science in Engineering Management from The Johns Hopkins University.

On a personal front, I enjoy dancing, fitness, yoga, and personal care; meditation; mathematics and writing; simplicity, minimalism, and mindful living.

The purpose of this website is to share my experiences and learnings, particularly related to US Healthcare, Fitness, Stoic philosophy, Mental health, Data Science and my take on solving global problems we face today. Let’s together learn from each other and make a better world tomorrow.
