BOSTON, January 26, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dinesh R. Vannan has been inducted into Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Mr. Vannan is a distinguished professional in the field of marketing and rare diseases, currently serving as the head of U.S. marketing for the lysosomal storage disease portfolio at Chiesi Global Rare Diseases, part of Chiesi USA Inc., since 2023. In this role, he leads a marketing team of six employees dedicated to two products: one in Fabry disease and one in alpha-mannosidosis. He oversees marketing operations for the entire organization, managing everything from marketing materials to the sales team to data insights, as well as driving the overall U.S. profit and loss.

Prior to his current position, Mr. Vannan was the director of marketing for the rare disease portfolio at Chiesi USA Inc. between 2020 and 2023. During this period, he played a pivotal role in launching a groundbreaking product for Fabry disease at the beginning of 2023. This achievement is particularly significant given the competitive landscape with limited innovation over the past two decades. The launch marked only the second new product introduced in this space in 20 years, positioning Chiesi against major competitors like Sanofi.

Mr. Vannan's career trajectory includes significant roles such as director of healthcare professional marketing at Intarcia Therapeutics Inc. from 2019 to 2020 and vice president of strategic planning at McCann Health in 2019. His tenure at McCann Health also included positions as an associate director of strategy from 2018 until 2019 and as a senior strategist in 2018. Earlier in his career, he served as an associate medical director at Greyhealth Group between 2016 and 2018 and as a scientific analyst at McCann Torre Lazur from 2014 to 2016. His foundational experience includes research assistant roles at Brigham and Women's Hospital from 2011 until 2013 and at Boston Children's Hospital from 2012 to 2013.

Laying the groundwork for Mr. Vannan's professional accomplishments was his academic background, which includes earning a Bachelor of Science in biology with a concentration in neuroscience from Boston College in 2013. He attributes his success to valuable mentorship and his willingness to explore new opportunities beyond his regular responsibilities. His extensive background working in agencies has provided him with a broad understanding of different teams, companies and innovations within the industry. Notably, both of his parents have worked in the pharmaceutical industry for over three decades, making him a second-generation pharmaceutical executive.

Mr. Vannan's excellence in his field has been recognized with prestigious accolades such as the PM360 Pharma Trailblazer Award in 2023, underscoring his innovative approach and substantial contributions to the pharmaceutical industry. In addition to his professional achievements, he is actively involved in philanthropic efforts focused on education and general infrastructure, particularly helping people in Sri Lanka through Tamil Sangam.

Looking ahead, Mr. Vannan aims to continue working as a leader in the commercial space industry with a deep commitment to addressing rare diseases, launching new products and ensuring their success in the market. He is driven by commercial leadership and aspires to further develop into a franchise leader and eventually take on organizational leadership roles. With a passion for managing people, marketing and branding, he is eager to expand it in the future.
