DESCRIPTION:Program Details\n\nMs. Meena Balakrishnan\, CEG 1985 Mech and Vice President\, Finance Transformation at Danaher Life Sciences and Bio Technology\, Washington DC\, USA.\nMeena just completed 20 years with Danaher (DHR) in a variety of progressive finance roles and has been with the Life Science (LS)/Biotechnology (BTG) platform Opcos since the Pall acquisition. She joined DHR as the Sales and Marketing Finance Manager for Jacobs Chuck Manufacturing Company. She currently is VP – Finance Transformation supporting DHR LS/BTG. She was part of the DHR acquisition integration team at Pall (~$14.0B acquisition) and served as its Corporate Controller until she was selected to be the DHR Finance Transition lead for the acquisition of Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT)\, a Coralville\, IA based company. After the successful finance integration of IDT early 2019\, Meena was named as the DHR Finance Transition lead for the acquisition integration of Cytiva\, formerly known as GE Biopharma (~$21.0B deal).

She served as a Steerco Member in Cytiva’s Global DEI Council after previously serving as the Chair of the DHR AsD+F ARG Steering Committee. She continues to serve as a mentor for many Cytiva/DHR associates both formally through Cytiva’ s mentoring programs and informally through those who reach out to her directly.\nMeena in her own words\, “I have been very fortunate and privileged with the career opportunities and mentorship\, DHR has given me\, and I believe it is now my time to pay forward”.\nMeena enjoys listening to Indian Classical music and enjoys traveling to exotic places with her family. She currently resides in Falls Church\, Virginia.\nMeena has a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering from College of Engineering\, Guindy in Chennai\, India\, and an MBA (Accounting and Finance concentration) from Tulane University\, New Orleans\, LA. \nLinkedin Profile \n\nHost – Mr. Vish Viswanathan\, CEG 1985 Mech\, CEO\, Anikode Management Consultants\nLinkedin Profile\n \nHost – Mr. Jaytesh Calpakkam\, CEG 2016 Mech\, Co-Founder of “The Internet Generation” \nLinkedin Profile\n \nTechnical Support – Mr. Partha Sarathy\, CEG IT\, 2021\nLinkedin Profile
