Ti Hwei How

In my role as Vice President of International Oncology, I am responsible for driving strategic and operational alignment for all oncology brands across the International region, which encompasses Asia, Middle East & Africa, Latin America, Australia & New Zealand and Russia & Eurasia. Our goal is to push the boundaries of science, change the practice of medicine and to maximise access for patients to transform their lives.

I am most passionate about bringing life-changing medicines to people living with serious diseases. I am particularly proud of the work of our teams at AstraZeneca which, beyond delivering medicines, are focused on supporting the needs of people living with cancer and society at large.

I have spent the last 25 years in the pharmaceutical and consumer goods industries in both country leadership and marketing roles. Since 2012, I have served as President for multiple AstraZeneca country organizations in Southeast Asia, including Vietnam, Malaysia and Singapore. In these respective markets, I was responsible for all aspects of AstraZeneca’s commercial operations, including sales, marketing, regulatory, medical, logistics and finance.

As the immediate past President of the Singapore Association of Pharmaceutical Industries (SAPI), I also gained extensive experience in collaborating with policy makers to make innovative medicines accessible to patients in Singapore.

Prior to joining AstraZeneca, I spent many years at both Johnson & Johnson and Procter & Gamble in the Asia Pacific region where I served in various marketing roles for both pharma and consumer goods divisions. I also previously served as Chairman of the European Chamber of Commerce (EuroCham) Healthcare Committee.

A Singapore national, I was educated and trained as a pharmacist and hold my MBA from the National University of Singapore.
