Way to go!

Nimita Limaye, VP and global head, strategic data services and medical writing at Siro Clinpharm, has been chosen as the incoming chair of the Society for Clinical Data Management (SDCM).

I read this in Outsorcing-Pharma.com. My first thought -Wow, way to go!

Couldn't help but feeling extremely happy and inspired too.

Got my reasons. First, I have met Nimita a few times, heard her speak and it is no wonder that she reached where she has.

Second, a young woman, and non-North American to be nominated thus, and on her own merits, Wow, she just broke through more than a couple of clichéd (but as always true!) bastions. And at the current moment,she is part of an Indian company!

India has more often than not been projected as a back office for clinical research and outsourcing. And very rarely represented at positions internationally where it could standup and be counted. And back home there exists something of a clique culture (which thankfully too is being outclassed by the new kids on the block!), which does not necessarily foster excellence or innovation, that to thus shine through is phenomenal.

Why is this on my blog?

Coz I am celebrating the future that is here!!!!
