About Ali Divan

I’m Ali Divan — biotech career coach and founder of Trulitica. I have a PhD in Immunology, and have industrial experience in R&D, Quality, and Operations. Furthermore, I've founded companies, led teams, and have launched & scaled products generating over $30M in annual revenue.

Along the way, I realized how many brilliant people were struggling to make the same move — not because they weren’t qualified, but because they didn’t know how to position themselves. That’s why I started Trulitica: to offer the kind of clear, personalized guidance I wish I’d had when I was making the switch.

I’ve helped dozens of clients land biotech jobs at top companies like Pfizer, Genentech, and Novartis.
I’ve been on both sides of the hiring table — so I know what hiring managers actually want to see.
I specialize in translating complex research backgrounds into language that resonates in biotech and pharma.
I don’t use one-size-fits-all frameworks. Everything is tailored to your experience and goals.

 My story

Breaking into biotech—or advancing within it—comes with its own set of challenges. I’ve been through it myself, learning how to reframe my skills, reposition my experience, and navigate spaces that felt completely unfamiliar.

That experience shaped how I coach today: practical, honest, and grounded in what actually works, whether you're transitioning from academia or looking to level up in biotech.

My 'Why'

I believe brilliant people deserve fulfilling careers — not ones where they feel stuck, overlooked, or underpaid.

My mission is to help others navigate the path I once struggled through, with support that’s clear, tailored, and genuinely invested in their success.

My Core Priciples

Service

At the heart of what I do is my commitment to service. I lead with generosity and show up where support is needed most. For me, helping others isn’t a transaction—it’s a fundamental part of who I am.

Empathy

Every coaching relationship starts with empathy. I believe that meaningful growth comes from being seen and understood. My approach is grounded in listening deeply, asking the right questions, and creating space for honest conversations.

Growth & Reciprocity

I spend my time with people who are serious about growth and who believe in showing up for others with that same energy. Trulitica is my way of sharing what I learn, giving back, and creating space for meaningful, mutual support.

"Working with Ali was a game-changer"

After months of applying without getting an offer, I reached out to Ali. Within just one month of working with him, I got an offer. He helped me secure interviews, guided me to ace them, and when I got my offer he helped me navigate my salary negotiations with poise. He is quick to respond throughout the fast-paced interview process, and goes above and beyond for his clients. I feel equipped with skills that will benefit my career for years to come.
