Eric Sandor

In this episode of Vigilance Unplugged, Eric Sandor takes us from the code-filled days of COBOL to the cutting edge of enterprise AI, narrating a career that bends technology, regulation and deep personal experience into a single mission: better, more precise patient care. You’ll follow his early work on groundbreaking pharmacovigilance systems, the global projects that shaped his view of safety and the bold leap from Accenture into entrepreneurship. Eric’s story is vivid and human a founder wrestling with the promise and the practicality of automation, a man who left corporate life only to confront heartbreaking personal loss and an innovator who built PVAI ahead of its time. The episode peels back the curtain on failure and reinvention, exposing the messy engineering, the tenacity and the lessons that come from trying to change an industry from the inside out. By the end you’ll see his vision for a standardized tech stack, integrated multimodal data, and the rise of precision medicine, a future where pharma becomes a trusted, data-driven guide for individual patients. This is a conversation about discovery, risk and the human stakes of technological change; listen for practical insights and a hopeful, urgent case for reimagining how we turn data into care.
