Real Chemistry Appoints Meenakshi Yadav as Chief AI Products and Solutions Officer

Real Chemistry has named Meenakshi Yadav as Chief AI Products and Solutions Officer, signaling a focused push from AI pilots to scaled products across its healthcare portfolio.

Yadav brings enterprise AI leadership from Genentech and product strategy experience from Amazon, where she led Alexa Smart Home initiatives. She also spent more than a decade at Publicis Sapient, giving her a strong agency and client delivery toolkit that product teams value.

Why this matters for product development

• Shift from experiments to products: Expect clearer guardrails, production-grade evaluation, and lifecycle management for AI features.
• Privacy-safe LLMs at scale: Real Chemistry's internal RCIS Workspace indicates a platform approach that balances speed with data protection.
• Reusable components: Internal assistants (5,000+ built by employees) suggest patterns, templates, and services that reduce time-to-value.
• AI search as a product: HealthGEO points to verticalized AI search that can be measured, governed, and iterated based on real usage.
• Cross-functional delivery: Product, data science, engineering, legal, and client teams will likely operate in tighter loops with shared KPIs.

What Real Chemistry has built so far

The company launched its AI & Ideas strategy before the public release of ChatGPT and created the RCIS Workspace, a proprietary, privacy-safe environment that mirrors LLM capabilities for internal use. Employees have developed more than 5,000 AI assistants, indicating a strong culture of prototyping and pattern reuse.

On the client side, the Analytics and Insights team recently introduced HealthGEO, an AI search solution built for life sciences communicators and marketers. HealthGEO helps teams monitor and manage how AI search engines present their science, narrative, and reputation.

Yadav's mandate

As AI work matures from proofs of concept to production-grade products, Yadav will guide the roadmap for scalable, repeatable solutions. She will collaborate with leaders across Real Chemistry to refine existing offerings and create new ones that meet evolving client needs in healthcare.

Practical takeaways for product leaders

• Set product metrics early: latency, accuracy, adoption, cost per inference, and compliance checkpoints.
• Standardize evaluation: red-teaming, hallucination checks, prompt and grounding tests, and longitudinal quality monitoring.
• Build a privacy-by-design spine: data contracts, retrieval governance, audit trails, and PII/PHI detection baked into pipelines.
• Create an internal AI toolkit: prompt libraries, approved models, feature flags, and a playbook for safe rollout.
• Treat content and reputation as core: AI search will influence discovery; invest in evaluation and response workflows.
