Meet our Speakers:

Kavitha Parthasarathy
Vice President, Data Analytics, Oncology at Corcept Therapeutics

Kavitha Parthasarathy leads Corcept Oncology’s Market Intelligence and Decision Sciences (MINDS) team, overseeing analytics, forecasting, market research, competitive intelligence, and data and technology functions for the Oncology business unit. Prior to joining Corcept in 2024, she spent over seventeen years at Gilead Sciences, where she led analytics and forecasting across therapeutic areas including HIV, Hepatitis B and C, COVID-19, Oncology, Cardiopulmonary, and Cystic Fibrosis. Under her leadership, her team was recognized as Best of Benchmark (2021) by TGaS Advisors (a division of Trinity) for delivering differentiated insights, strong stakeholder partnership, and measurable business impact. Earlier in her career, Kavitha held supply chain and engineering roles at Johnson & Johnson and Philips. She holds Master’s degrees in Business Administration and Electrical Engineering.

Cassy Gardner,
Corporate Development Director at E Tech Group

Cassy Gardner, PMP, MBA is the Head of Partnerships at E Tech Group. She works at the intersection of industrial automation, AI enablement, and business strategy. Her experience spans ISA‑95/88–aligned architectures, roadmapping initiatives, and delivering large-scale technology projects across regulated industrial environments. Her latest undertaking centers on preparing manufacturing environments for AI solutions. Cassy brings a compelling perspective on the network, data, and application architectures required to capture AI benefits. Her focus is on architectural readiness, not AI model tuning. She offers vulnerability and transparency, openly sharing both the technical and personal challenges that have shaped a 13-year career spanning bioengineering and mergers and acquisitions. Beyond her professional work, Cassy is a founder and volunteer for Y'allomation, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in industrial automation by connecting students and early‑career professionals with mentors and real‑world industry guidance. At Women in Biotech Frontiers, she looks forward to fostering community among women in biotech—believing that shared experience and trusted human networks are even more critical than ethernet networks. Ask her about industrial automation—or about how grief reshaped her leadership and perspective.
