Prerna Kaul is a product and platform leader who has spent over 14 years turning machine-learning research into consumer and B2B products at Amazon Alexa, AGI, Moderna, and now Panasonic Well. In today’s episode, she explains how she’s using AI to slash some of the most time-consuming, expensive tasks in life sciences—from generating 60,000-page FDA submissions to crafting communication frameworks that help product managers navigate complex stakeholder dynamics. Her innovations are saving millions of dollars and helping lifesaving treatments reach the market faster.


What you’ll learn:
