I spent more than 20 years doing work that matters: helping health sector organizations grow their portfolios, government programs deliver, and mission-driven teams perform at their best. From managing $100M+ federal portfolios to designing proposals that won $150M in new business, my career has been built at the intersection of strategy, people, and results. My capacity to swiftly build trust across diverse teams and stakeholders consistently enables me to deliver results where others encounter challenges, distinguishing me as a leader for complex, high-stakes initiatives.
Across 30+ countries and health programs funded by USAID, PEPFAR, CDC, HHS, the Global Fund, and GIZ, I secured $150M+ in new partnerships and led a $5B IDIQ Next Gen proposal pursuit and delivered supply chain digital transformations that reduced emergency procurements by 35%.
Through Farouk Consulting Services, I advise C-suite leaders in healthcare and biopharma on business growth strategy, business operations, pipeline analysis and organizational transformation. If your organization seeks a proven executive to lead mission-critical programs, I welcome the opportunity to connect and discuss how I can add value to your firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
