SABA NIKPOUR, PhD

Saba is Partner at The Marigold Group, a growth advisory and investment firm that assists pre-public companies in realizing their next phase of growth through systems design, with focus on health tech and life sciences.

Saba has experience across the healthcare industry – beginning her career in clinical practice working in direct patient care, then expanding across health systems, pharmacy, managed care, pharmaceutical, venture capital, and management consulting – all with the intention of understanding different stakeholders and their different incentives, then using that understanding to drive collective change.

She brings that experience to The Cook’s Nook, contributing her healthcare expertise to advise go-to-market strategy, customer targeting, and value messaging. Saba earned a Doctorate of Pharmacy, and her greatest fulfillment comes from existing in service to humanity.
