Hon. Leela Aheer, Sr. Director of Strategy, BioAro Inc. and Former MLA of Alberta

📍Alberta, Canada

Episode Overview:

Our episode features Hon. Leela Aheer, whose career spans music, politics, and now senior leadership in biotech and investment. She shares her current work as Senior Director of Strategy & Partnerships at BioAro, where the focus is on genomics, AI, and precision medicine, including sports genomics and decentralized healthcare data. Hon. Leela discusses how her team operates in a fast-paced, global environment, building partnerships across Canada, the UAE, the UK, and beyond.

A major highlight is the conversation around large-scale national genomics initiatives, such as the UAE’s plan to sequence its entire population and the UK’s 100,000 Genomes Project. We explored the regulatory and policy challenges of operating internationally, including data privacy, informed consent, and the importance of localizing genomic data. Hon. Leela draws on her experience as a former legislator to explain how effective policy requires broad consultation and critical thinking.

We also cover the personal side of public service, including resilience in the face of public backlash and the impact on family.
