Summary

I am looking for a new opportunity to contribute to the growth of a surgical robotics company with a product that makes a significant positive difference in people’s lives. This is what has driven me in my career and what I seek to do next. 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 and the skills of a process and organization-oriented, clinical executive. As an executive, I have worked with top MedTech leaders and executive teams. I am a proven team-builder and team-player, unafraid of taking on new challenges. In my founder experience, we delivered a unique new robotics product to hospitals and grew to one hundred employees in 6 years. My passions are bringing research and science directly to the side of patients, advancing evidence-based medicine with a strong data-backed approach, driving product development while working hand-in-hand with the community of physician and patient end-users. I have lived and worked in California, Germany, Great Britain and Italy, gaining a unique multicultural experience.
