Biographie

Murray Aitken is a senior vice president of IQVIA, Executive Director of the IQVIA Institute for Human Data Science, and a Visiting Professor in Practice at the London School of Economics and Political Science. The IQVIA Institute undertakes independent research for publication, drawing upon the resources of IQVIA, and focuses on improving understanding of critical global healthcare issues, including the role of medicines in patient care, the disruptive impact of technology, productivity in research and development, and the value of information in improving decision-making. He directs the Institute’s activities and co-authors reports, while also engaging externally with a broad range of healthcare decision-makers in the public and private sectors globally. Reports by the Institute are widely cited by policy-makers, referenced in peer-reviewed research, and covered by the media. His leadership at the IQVIA Institute (formerly IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics) has included landmark studies in Digital Health published in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2021 and 2024 which are focused on the requirements for digital health tools to play a meaningful role in the delivery of healthcare to patients. These reports have tracked the progress over time of functionality, use, evidence, commercial models, and demonstrated impact of the expanding range of digital health tools. The reports have been widely cited in peer-reviewed and other publications. Throughout his 23-year tenure at IQVIA (and formerly IMS Health), Aitken served in various roles responsible for healthcare insights, corporate strategy, and consulting and services. Previously, he was a partner at McKinsey & Company and during his career there was based in Los Angeles, Seoul and New Jersey, serving clients across a broad range of industries, including life sciences, consumer goods, and technology. He holds an MBA, with distinction, from Harvard University and a Masters of Commerce degree from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.
