Ewa Kleczyk, SVP of commercial analytics at Target RWE, blends purpose and precision to drive real-world healthcare solutions, mentor future leaders, and expand equity through data innovation.
After more than two decades in data science and healthcare analytics, Kleczyk found the perfect intersection of purpose and innovation as the senior vice president of commercial analytics and data curation at Target RWE. Her journey began with a passion for solving real-world problems, which evolved into a mission-driven career transforming healthcare through data.
“From early in my career, I was driven by a passion for applying analytical rigor to solve real-world problems,” Kleczyk says. That mindset led her to leadership positions in several healthcare research organizations, where she sharpened both her technical skills and strategic insight. Those roles also gave her a deep appreciation for the operational complexity of today’s healthcare systems.
Joining Target RWE was a natural progression for Kleczyk, who now leads efforts that drive operational excellence, integrating scientific rigor with business strategy. She works to ensure that Target RWE’s real-world evidence supports everything from FDA regulatory submissions to commercial and clinical initiatives. “The company’s commitment to generating scientifically rigorous real-world data deeply resonates with my values,” she says.
Kleczyk’s leadership is informed by more than just experience—it’s shaped by service. She co-founded the Kleczyk-Strout Foundation to advance access to healthcare and education in underserved communities and serves on multiple nonprofit boards dedicated to healthcare and women in STEM.
Her biggest leadership lesson? “Leadership isn’t about titles or hierarchy, it’s about service, consistency, and the courage to challenge the status quo.” Kleczyk also emphasizes empathy and collaboration. She describes herself as a transformational leader, and colleagues have called her “approachable yet decisive” and “someone who leads with both intellect and heart.”
While technical knowledge is vital, Kleczyk believes the most valuable education is rooted in empathy, resilience, and critical thinking—skills not always found in textbooks but essential in an evolving healthcare landscape.
Looking ahead, she plans to continue mentoring the next generation of professionals, particularly women and first-generation students in science and technology. “Providing guidance, encouragement, and pathways forward is one of the most rewarding aspects of my work,” she says.
Kleczyk’s story is one of purpose, precision, and progress. From rural communities to regulatory strategy, her impact spans far beyond analytics—and she’s just getting started.
