Tina was born in Baroda, India on February 20, 1978. She grew up in Danbury, CT where she attended Immaculate High School and following graduation, went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in Finance from Western Connecticut State University. With her diploma in hand, Tina joined Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals in the finance department and over the next 22 years had a very successful career culminating with her most recent appointment as VP of Market Access Marketing, Payor Marketing & Business Innovation.
Tina was a true friend and mentor to many. She was always generous with her time, an advocate for the underdog, and a brilliant and respected professional in the pharmaceutical industry. When Tina wasn’t working she loved to travel, especially to beautiful beaches with a good book in hand. In addition, she enjoyed painting, shopping, catching up on Bravo TV shows and eating her favorite food – nachos.
Tina was the daughter of Dilipkumar Patel, who preceded her in death and is survived by her mother, Dharini Patel and sister, Kelly Patel.
A celebration of Tina's life will be held on February 24.2023 at Michael’s Tap Room, 37 Stony Hill Rd, Bethel, CT. Friends will be welcomed from 3-7pm with a remembrance service scheduled to begin at 3:15pm.
