About

I am a strategic leader able to drive the growth of medtech companies and products that make a significant positive difference in people's lives.
In everything I do, I combine the rigorous thinking and analytical methodology from my natural sciences background with the long-term vision of a founder mindset and the skills of a process and organization-oriented, leader and board member.

In my seven years of board membership, I have worked with top MedTech leaders in robotic surgery, neuromodulation and regenerative medicine, balancing the needs and interests of all corporate stakeholders. I am a proven team-builder and team-player, unafraid of taking on new challenges.

In my founder experience, starting from an original idea, I was instrumental in delivering a unique new robotics product to hospitals in a company that grew to one hundred employees in 6 years. In the course of this I secured capital of over EUR 40M from Angel investors, VC funds and non-dilutive funding, from initial outreach and pitches through term sheets, due diligence, investment docs and closings. My passions are strategically building products and companies by identifying clinical needs that represents a unique market opportunity using a strong data-backed approach.

I have driven product development and company growth while working hand-in-hand with the community of physician and patient end-users. I am a German and US national and have lived and worked in California, Germany, Great Britain and Italy, gaining a unique multicultural experience allowing me to work effectively with teams internationally.
