I am a distinguished data science leader. I currently serve as Senior Director at Axtria Inc., where I lead the company’s decision science business across the Midwest and West Coast. I manage a five million dollar portfolio and guide a team of high performing data scientists who build advanced analytics and AI solutions for global biopharmaceutical clients. My work focuses on transforming commercial decision making, improving patient outcomes, and institutionalizing data driven strategies across large enterprises.

At Axtria, I have led several pioneering analytics initiatives. I developed a patient journey map for a cardiomyopathy therapy by analyzing more than fifty thousand EMR and claims records. This work uncovered diagnostic delays, identified adherence gaps, and enabled targeted interventions that improved therapy initiation by fifteen percent and adherence by twenty percent. For a leading HIV drug, I designed and implemented advanced multi touch attribution models that quantified the influence of interactions across HCPs, pharmacies, and digital channels, enabling more precise promotional decision making. I also built a comprehensive omnichannel orchestration strategy for a cancer drug, aligning marketing, medical, and compliance functions to deliver synchronized and compliant outreach. In addition, my work in econometric modeling for a CNS drug delivered a ten percent uplift in total sales through optimized budget allocation and a clear understanding of channel effectiveness.

My thought leadership has been featured at leading international conferences. I have delivered keynote addresses at the IEEE International Conference on Communication, Computer Sciences and Engineering and have been invited to speak at the IEEE International Conference on Contemporary Computing and Communications. My talk titled Leveraging Data Science for Transformative Healthcare Outcomes received significant engagement for its practical approach to integrating predictive analytics into healthcare ecosystem design. I have also contributed multiple scholarly works to international journals and IEEE venues, including Leveraging Statistical Programming for Adaptive Clinical Trial Designs at ICCSCM, Innovations in Multi Touch Attribution Models at the IEEE ESCI Conference, and Revolutionizing Customer Experience Through NLP and Sentiment Analysis Strategies at the IEEE CICTN Conference.

Across my career, I have been driven by a consistent mission to unlock measurable value through data. I have mentored and developed high performing analytics teams, scaled global capabilities, and advised senior leaders across healthcare, life sciences, insurance, retail, and manufacturing. My work stands at the intersection of strategy, analytics, and technology, ensuring that organizations can translate complex data into decisions that elevate outcomes for patients, customers, and businesses.

I have a proven track record of building, scaling, and elevating high-performing analytics and data science teams across multiple geographies. Throughout my leadership roles at Axtria, TheMathCompany, and Mu Sigma, I have hired and developed dozens of data scientists, analysts, and decision science professionals—creating strong talent pipelines, capability-building frameworks, and onboarding programs that accelerate both readiness and long-term success. I am deeply committed to coaching and mentoring, providing structured career development, real-time feedback, and hands-on guidance that helps my teams grow into strategic, client-facing leaders.

The couple's combined expertise—Ron's innovative approach and Shawn's marketing acumen—has significantly bolstered ASC's reputation as a premier provider of medical supplies, including rapid drug tests, personal protective equipment, and COVID-19 testing kits.

Based in Shreveport, Louisiana, ASC has expanded its reach beyond the United States, delivering vital medical supplies to Canada, Europe, South America, and other global markets. Ron, the CEO, and Shawn, the Vice President of Sales and Marketing, have guided the company through various challenges, including the recent pandemic, emphasizing their commitment to public health and safety.

Both Ron and Shawn hail from Louisiana, where they nurtured their passion for helping others. Ron graduated from Louisiana State University in 1996, while Shawn obtained a Bachelor of Science in Microbiology Chemistry from Southeastern Louisiana University in the same year. Their educational backgrounds and shared dedication to community service laid a strong foundation for their future endeavors.

In 2003, the Kilgarlins founded ASC with a clear vision: to provide high-quality medical supplies that enable healthcare providers to deliver superior care. The company has grown significantly under its leadership, marked by a commitment to quality, as evidenced by its ISO 13485 certification. This designation underscores ASC's adherence to stringent quality management systems, ensuring the reliability and safety of its products.

Ron and Shawn's belief in the power of community and family extends into their personal lives. They are proud parents who cherish their time traveling and writing. Shawn is the author of "God's Love Letters, Overcoming Adversity," a book that reflects on her personal and professional challenges and the role of faith in overcoming them. Together, they co-authored "Past Tense! – 365 Ways to Put Stress Behind You for Good," a testament to their commitment to helping others manage stress and substance abuse.

The Kilgarlins are also active philanthropists, supporting All Eagles Oscar, a charity dedicated to assisting veterans with medical costs and recovery from post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injuries, and substance abuse disorders. Their philanthropic efforts reflect their deep commitment to social responsibility and community support.

Looking ahead, Ron and Shawn Kilgarlin continue to drive ASC's expansion into over 50 countries, aiming to make it a global leader in health screening tests. Their ongoing mission is to combat drug addiction and improve health outcomes worldwide, one screening test at a time, demonstrating their unwavering dedication to enhancing global health standards.

I represent a new and innovative field in the most traditional subject in medicine: Clinical Anatomy. A science without narrow specialty restrictions, fully multidisciplinary. My aim is to bring anatomical knowledge into the context of diagnostic and therapeutic (surgical) application. To translate basic research into clinical application. To teach science and clinical approaches.

I have experience in translating MedTech into clinical applications—also as an entrepreneur.

Milestones of my activities:
* The establishment of a worldwide renowned surgical training centre with 12 complete OR-settings on 2500+ square meter. Annually more than 2500 surgeons from all surgical disciplines take part in more than 100 international training courses.
* The establishment of a platform to use human bodies for research and development in the field of medical technology in an environment that ethically complies with the recommendations of the International Federation of Associations of Anatomists (IFAA). More than 140 MedTech companies, medical societies and medical academies use the opportunity to test and develop medical products and surgical approaches on donated bodies.
* Pioneer work in the field of digitalisation of academic teaching and CME-certified continued education. An operating room has been connected to a professional tv-studio. More than 50,000 students, physicians and medical professionals registered for the digital, non-profit, series Sectio chirurgica.
* The establishment of a research institute for translational cellular biology on tissue and cell systems from animal models and human specimen. Four task groups, led by experienced biologists, biochemists and medical doctors, work in the fields of microscopy, ultrastructural analysis, molecular biology, biocompatibility and toxicity analytics.
* Developing and patenting of Aminolipin®, a novel and highly effective biocide. Aminolipin® has exceptional properties: It is low hazardous and easily biodegradable - but nevertheless a fully-fledged substitute for formaldehyde. Aminolipin® fixed bodies are ideal models for state-of-the-art surgical procedures such as MIC and robotic assisted surgery.
* Activity as entrepreneur. Spin-off of LICIT Solutions GmbH. Board member of the BioMedTech association, member of the evaluation board of the 4C Medical Innovations Incubator.
