S2E04: “Growing up in Kenya, Thriving in Medtech: A Rising Star’s Journey”, with Benazir Premji, Director of Marketing & Commercial Excellence at Distalmotion

The Leadership Consultation

Welcome to another episode of The Marketing Consultation, where we delve into the journeys of inspiring professionals from the healthcare industry. In this episode, we are joined by Benazir Premji, one of our former Edwards Lifesciences’ colleagues and currently the Director of Marketing and Commercial Excellence at Distalmotion.
Benazir's journey is a testament to the power of embracing change and seeking growth. She started her career in consulting, but a desire for a more hands-on role led her to pursue an MBA. Shortly after graduation, she found herself in a new country, industry, and function, working in business operations for Edwards Lifesciences.
In this episode, Benazir shares her insights on the challenges and rewards of such a significant career shift. She emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and balance in managing stress and maintaining productivity. Benazir also discusses the current challenges in the MedTech industry, including supply chain issues and the need for digital transformation. She advocates for data-driven decision-making and leveraging digital platforms to improve outcomes.
On a personal note, Benazir shares her childhood experiences and how they shaped her into the person she is today. Her international experiences have also played a significant role in her personal and professional development.
As we wrap up the episode, Benazir leaves us with a reflection on the concept of home. For her, Kenya is where her heart is, but Canada is where she would live if she could pick any place in the world. This duality encapsulates her journey - a blend of embracing her roots and seeking new horizons. Join us in this episode as we explore Benazir's inspiring journey, her insights on the MedTech industry, and her approach to work-life balance.
