  • Optimal pricing analysis for potential pharmaceutical drug. Used CMS pricing data to benchmark the prices generic drugs are set at in comparison with the branded counterpart.

Created model in Excel and STATA used to quantify damages and to create exhibits submitted to court and to be presented at trial.
  • Calculated lost profits arising from allegations that a health data provider stole proprietary data from a competitor.
