Background

About Nik Friddle

As a Global Product Manager in Molecular Diagnostics, I bring a cross-functional mindset and customer-focused strategy to every stage of the product lifecycle. I’ve led upstream marketing efforts and managed complex portfolios across infectious disease syndromes, including gastrointestinal illnesses and meningitis/encephalitis. My deep knowledge of these clinical areas is grounded in real-world experience—from working in intensive care units and clinical research to laboratory testing and diagnostics. This background allows me to bridge the gap between product innovation and clinical relevance, ensuring our solutions deliver meaningful value to healthcare providers and patients alike. What truly sets me apart is how I lead with people. I value emotional intelligence, trust, and open communication, and I believe great outcomes come from teams that feel empowered and connected. Whether facilitating a product launch, supporting cross-site development, or guiding a project team, I aim to create a space where collaboration thrives and individuals feel seen and supported. I’m passionate about improving patient outcomes through innovation and teamwork, and I’m energized by the opportunity to help teams grow, solve hard problems, and make a lasting impact.
