Scaling Businesses

Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany

About

Entrepreneurial business leader with 20+ years in healthcare technology with a strong commercial mindset. I have led start‑ups, scale‑ups and mid‑sized organisations as CEO and C‑level executive with full P&L responsibility and international teams. I built and scaled digital health and data platforms such as DoctorBox, working with hospitals, labs, payers and regulators on secure, compliant health data flows and ISO 27001‑aligned information security. I am interested in executive roles where cybersecurity, data protection and digital trust become growth drivers for hospitals, MedTech and digital health – ideally P&L/BU leadership from Hamburg with an international scope.
