# Priya Paul

> Priya Paul (Bhutani) is the founder and CEO of RegDesk, an AI-powered regulatory intelligence and management platform for medical device and pharmaceutical companies. A biomedical engineer turned regulatory strategist, she spent years watching life-changing devices stall in regulatory limbo - up to 80% of applications get rejected for reasons unrelated to safety - and built RegDesk in 2014 to compress submissions that once took months into days. She leads the company's product vision and global growth, and RegDesk is a certified Minority Business Enterprise.
