Our
Story
Marketing to life sciences and healthcare is challenging. Reaching scientifically and medically minded audiences while also simplifying complex value propositions is no easy task.
That's why we started Sirona Marketing.
​
At Sirona, we have a passion for science, medicine and marketing. Having worked closely with some of the most innovative and leading companies, we saw first-hand how many leaders need assistance translating their scientific and medical breakthroughs into compelling, customer-centric narratives.
​
Because we speak the language, recognize the nuances, and understand the regulations and norms, we are able to help our clients look great in front of their customers. ​​

A passion for healthcare and life sciences
Caitlin La Honta
With extensive experience in life sciences marketing, I've spent my career driving go-to-market strategies for top life sciences software companies including Veeva Systems and Benchling. In this complex industry, where standard marketing playbooks just don't cut it, I've learned that well-executed marketing is a critical growth lever.
At Benchling, I built and drove our product launch strategy from the ground up, generating over $1M in pipeline in the first launch alone. At Veeva, I led product marketing for one of Veeva’s top commercial products, and work directly with the CEO to market the company’s new business consulting practice. Most recently, I established and grew a life sciences marketing consulting group, where I’ve helped numerous companies accelerate early-stage growth.
Life sciences and healthcare are leading some of the most important innovations in our lifetime. I am passionate about helping drive these critical efforts through clear, compelling, and powerful marketing that bring these complex accomplishments to life.

Abdul Rastagar
I am an outcomes-focused growth and marketing executive with a proven track-record of helping healthcare and life sciences companies grow customers and revenue. I excel at developing data-driven go-to-market strategies, launching best-in-class products, transforming brands, and building winning Marketing programs.
​
I've had the pleasure to work at some of the industry's most renown companies such as Edwards Lifesciences, Veeva Systems, Oracle Health Sciences, Benchling, AstraZeneca (where I had the honor of placing a candidate drug into clinical trials), and more. In my last role prior to starting Sirona, I led the marketing function at Lexitas Pharma Services and was a key member of the leadership team, helping to grow the company's revenue by 194% in under 2 years.
​
Healthcare and marketing are today, and have always been, my passion. I have a BS in Organic Chemistry from the University of California San Diego, an MBA from the University of California Irvine Merage School of Business, and a certification in Healthcare Management from the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health.
