He was previously a Director of Medical Innovation, where he supported a variety of medical analytics initiatives globally across all of Pfizer’s business units. In this role, he pioneered algorithmic solutions that leveraged NLP and disparate datasets to empirically identify key opinion leaders for medical affairs engagements across multiple business units both within the USA and globally. He has also served as a Field Medical Director for Pfizer’s cardiovascular and metabolic medicine portfolio. Prior to joining Pfizer, he was a healthcare consultant for a variety of organizations ranging from payor and provider systems, federal agencies (e.g., FDA, CMS) and biotechnology companies.

Andres offers expertise in informing strategy and operations with a multidisciplinary approach that involves strategic thinking, business analytics, public health, clinical medicine and behavioral economics. He advocates for solving problems in a structured way by integrating qualitative perspective with quantitative rigor. Andres believes that the path to incremental value for individual patients, populations, and organizations is by identifying problems and developing and deploying scalable solutions that are informed by multidisciplinary expertise. He believes that systems-based problems represent untapped opportunities for large-scale impact; that professionals and organizations alike would do well to seize those opportunities openly and enthusiastically; and that multidisciplinary solutions yield the best outcomes.
