Jay Manara

As Chief Strategy Officer, I work at the intersection of creativity, data, and innovation—building teams that challenge convention and solve complex business problems. With 20 years of experience in healthcare and pharma strategy and recognition as an MM+M 40 Under 40 honoree, I've led marketing and launch strategies for leading brands across pharma, biotech, and consumer health.

I'm driven by a curiosity about human behavior and a passion for improving patient and customer experiences. I've guided 150+ product launches, indication approvals, and label extensions, and managed more than $1B in client investment across paid media and omnichannel programs in North America and Europe. My approach blends strategic thinking, analytics, and commercialization to deliver meaningful business and health outcomes.
