ALISHA MOOPEN

Executive director and CEO of Aster DM Healthcare

Alisha Moopen is a rising star in the healthcare business founded by her father more than 30 years ago, but surprisingly she didn’t initially want to take up the mantle. Having started work in audit at professional services firm EY in the UK, she felt the pull of the healthcare industry after her young son had an accident. Since joining Aster DM in 2012, she has made her own mark as the leader of its hospitals and clinics in the GCC. This year, her financial experience has also come in handy after the firm’s February listing in India and she has since been nominated to join the World Economic Forum’s 2018 class of young global leaders.
