Top SchoolTom Bakas is a healthcare executive with 12 years of experience driving commercial transformation, P&L growth, and margin expansion across Pharma, MedTech, and SaaS. Currently Head of Customer Experience for US Pharmaceuticals at Baxter, he leads go-to-market optimization and operational redesign to accelerate revenue and peak P&L performance after guiding a $5B carve-out and earlier scaling of a high-margin RWD SaaS business into a $150M recapitalization.

Comfortable at inflection points, Tom translates board-level strategy into Day‑1 ready execution and measurable EBITDA improvement. Early career experience in trading and growth equity gives him a quantitative edge in risk-informed commercial decision-making.
