About Gemma Estrada

I am an executive with solid background in Clinical Research as well as in Science who is committed to reimagine Pharma companies by leveraging “digital” on behalf of patients, doctors, payers, partners and employees to make sustainable impact on healthcare.
I am happy to bridge and integrate different cultural environments for transnational projects. I have the ability to drive the vision, enhance performance and effectively frame problems when they arise. I relate to all team members, build trust and create the right spirit that ultimately allows the project to thrive.
Currently, I am Director Digital Health and technology at Ferrer, a privately owned pharmaceutical and chemical company headquartered in Barcelona.
Previously, I developed the Harrison Clinical Research operation (HCR) in Spain and was its Managing Director during 12 years. Following the merger of Synteract, Inc with HCR, I grew into the position of Regional Director of South Europe, Israel and Latin America. My major professional achievement was the establishment of the legal and financial infrastructure to operate in Argentina and Spain where we enabled 11 years of continuous growth.
Past experience also includes managing the Barcelona Clinical Trials Platform (BCTP), a strategic instrument promoted by the Health Department of the Catalan Government to strengthen clinical research capacity in the region.
With regards to publications I have contributed 20 articles in peer review journals and non indexed magazines.
I cultivate an active network of relationships across multiple organizations and academia.
