Dr. Asha Martin – Bringing World-Class Cancer Care to the Caribbean As a medical oncologist and hematologist with over a decade of experience, my mission has always been clear: to deliver first-world cancer care in resource-limited settings. Born and raised in the Commonwealth of Dominica, my journey took me to Camagüey, Cuba, for my medical degree, where I learned the power of resilience and innovation. Later, at the University of the West Indies in Jamaica, I honed my expertise in hematology and oncology, deepening my passion for treating cancers such as breast, colon, and prostate cancer, as well as blood disorders like multiple myeloma and anemia. Since 2022, I’ve been practicing in St. Lucia, splitting my time between the island’s main public hospital and my private practice, Sabinea Rose Haem-Onc Services Ltd. My goal? To make specialized care accessible and easy to understand. That’s why I launched my website in 2025—to empower patients and caregivers with clear, reliable information. Now, as a contributor to this magazine, I’ll share insights on cancer prevention, treatment advances, and living well with chronic conditions—all in a way that’s easy to grasp. Whether you’re a patient, caregiver, or simply health-curious, join me as we navigate the complexities of cancer care together. Empowering your journey with knowledge and care.

Dr. Galia BarHava is an applied developmental psychologist, organisational culture expert, speaker and entrepreneur who has spent more than 30 years exploring how people grow, lead and work together. Her work sits at the intersection of psychology, business strategy and organisational culture, challenging the assumption that commercial performance and human development are separate conversations. Galia began her career in strategy consulting at Boston Consulting Group and later became the inaugural Head of Ethics of New Zealand’s largest company. Today, through Oro Group, she works with organisations to strengthen leadership, relationships and culture. She is particularly known for designing group mentoring programmes that create opportunities for women and emerging leaders, while also developing mentors and influencing the wider cultures in which they work. Her perspective is both professional and deeply personal. Her experience of a rare, life-threatening autoimmune illness, and of care that combined medical treatment with a deeply human approach, inspired her PhD research in person-centred healthcare. It reinforced a conviction that continues to shape her work: people develop through relationships, and the quality of those relationships matters. Drawing on Positive Psychology, Positive Organisational Scholarship and decades of practical experience, Galia makes psychological research accessible and relevant to everyday organisational life. Through her writing, keynotes, workshops and consulting, she invites people to question the invisible assumptions about leadership, careers and success, and to pay closer attention to the human dynamics that shape how organisations actually work.

Ankur Nagar is a Consumer Insights, Market Research, and Growth Strategy leader with over 20 years of experience helping organizations make consumer-centric business decisions. His expertise spans FMCG, Telecom, Financial Services, Automotive, Education, and start-up sectors, and he has worked across both consulting and agency environments, partnering with leadership teams to unlock growth through consumer understanding and market intelligence. Throughout his career, Ankur has helped clients build and scale new business opportunities, acquiring new relationships and reviving dormant accounts through consultative, insight-led selling. For organizations without a dedicated insights function, he has stepped in as an outsourced Consumer Insights partner, designing consumer understanding frameworks that have directly informed innovation pipelines and brand decisions. He has also led global research delivery programs, building offshore capabilities that supported clients across APAC and North American markets while managing complex, multi-country stakeholder relationships. A recurring thread across his engagements has been operational impact: Ankur has redesigned reporting processes to cut client turnaround times by approximately 50%, and has established scalable research systems and governance mechanisms that continue to serve organizations well beyond the length of an individual project. Today, as Founder & Principal Consultant at Saarva, he continues this work directly — running consumer understanding studies, product testing, NPS and customer experience frameworks, and strategic advisory engagements that help FMCG, B2B, startup, and education clients make faster, more confident, consumer-backed decisions. Ankur holds a PGDBA in Marketing, a BBA in Marketing, and a PG Certificate in Digital Marketing & Communication from MICA and UpGrad, and is a certified Design Thinking Master Practitioner. He has been recognized among the Top 20 Most Influential Market Research Professionals and the 10 Most Promising Management & Strategy Consultants in India.
