Pegah Chaharmahali, MBA
Pegah approaches her work with the belief that excellence in medicine is built quietly, through discipline, integrity, and responsibility long before results reach clinicians or patients. Her leadership philosophy is rooted in precision, accountability, and respect for both scientific evidence and the individuals who carry out the work.
She is deeply committed to building reliable systems and strong teams, recognizing that sustainable quality depends as much on people and culture as it does on technology. Pegah leads with clarity and consistency, fostering environments where high standards are upheld while teams remain engaged, supported, and motivated to deliver their best work.
With a strong interest in bridging science and business, Pegah focuses on advancing diagnostic innovation thoughtfully and responsibly. She is particularly drawn to initiatives that improve access to testing, strengthen operational efficiency, and ensure the consistent delivery of optimal-quality diagnostics.

What do you enjoy most about practicing medicine?
What I enjoy most about practicing medicine is knowing that my work quietly but meaningfully shapes patient care. There is something deeply fulfilling about ensuring that every diagnostic result is accurate, precise, reliable, and delivered with integrity—because behind every specimen is a real person waiting for answers.
I take pride in the discipline of medicine: the commitment to accuracy and precision, the standards, and the responsibility to get things right even when no one is watching. At the same time, I value the human side just as much—supporting clinicians with dependable data, building teams that care about their work, and creating systems that allow people to perform at their best.
Ultimately, what I enjoy most is contributing to trust. When diagnostics are performed with accuracy and precision, they give physicians confidence, guide decisions, and protect patients. Being part of that foundation—where science, ethics, and service meet—is what makes this work meaningful to me every day.
