Dr Kishan Rees is a UK-based physician who has built a career spanning clinical medicine, broadcast journalism, and pharmaceutical/medical affairs leadership. Here's what he's known for and has built:

**Medical background**
He holds a medical degree from the University of Leicester, a Master's in Medical Education (with Distinction) from the University of Nottingham, an Executive MBA from Nottingham Business School, and was awarded an MD from Hull York Medical School in 2025 [1]. His doctoral research examined how social and mainstream media shaped public health communication during the pandemic [1], and he continues to practice as a doctor — patient reviews describe him seeing patients at St John and Elizabeth Hospital in London for issues like kidney pain and sepsis [3].

**Career spanning multiple fields**
With over 15 years of experience, he has worked across emergency medicine, medical education, Sky News and BBC health journalism, and senior medical affairs roles at AstraZeneca, Sanofi, and now Bayer AG [1].

**What he's built/leads now**
He currently serves as Senior Director for Video & Digital Content Strategy within Global Medical & Evidence at Bayer, working at the intersection of science, storytelling, and innovation — shaping how complex medical evidence is communicated to healthcare professionals and patients globally [1] [2]. A key part of his leadership approach involves building high-performing, intergenerational teams that combine diverse experience and perspective [1].

**Recognition**
- He was recognised as an NHS England Clinical Entrepreneur in 2017 [1] [6]
- He received the PM Society Marketing Pioneer Award in 2025, one of the pharmaceutical industry's notable recognitions [1]

**Public profile**
He's also known as a media commentator and conference speaker — described as blending his medical background with digital media expertise, and noted for an engaging, energetic speaking style at industry events like DMWF Global [4]. He also gained some attention early in the pandemic for a video about health self-monitoring gadgets [5].

He doesn't appear to be a public figure with a Wikipedia page or widespread name recognition — most of what's available comes from LinkedIn [4], industry profiles [1] [2], and patient review sites [3], so this is a reasonably niche but well-documented professional profile rather than someone broadly famous.
