As a strategic healthcare executive with over 25 years of international experience, I bring a unique blend of technical insight and business leadership, shaped by a career that has evolved from engineering into global strategy, market intelligence, and P&L responsibility. At Siemens Healthineers, I currently lead the global Market- and Competitive Intelligence function, providing forward-looking insights that inform corporate strategy, performance dialogues, and board-level decision-making. I’ve streamlined market planning processes and built a trusted view of the business environment that supports strategic alignment across regions and business lines. Previously, I held full P&L responsibility for the U.S.-based Special Solutions Division, where I led cross-functional teams to exceed sales targets, drive operational improvements, and deliver substantial growth. Earlier roles in strategic M&A and corporate strategy further sharpened my ability to connect long-term vision with actionable execution. Most recently, I’ve expanded my leadership approach through executive coaching training—deepening my commitment to developing people and fostering accountable, collaborative teams.
