Shaping the Future of Pharma | Chief Operating Officer

Switzerland

About

As COO at MediCrops, I’m rethinking what a pharmaceutical company can be in the age of AI. We’re not layering AI onto legacy systems. We’re building from the ground up: lean, fast, and radically patient-centric. I lead operations across strategy, compliance, and technology to create a next-generation pharma model that’s agile, data-driven, and built for speed. Our focus is on enabling better access to care while staying deeply compliant with Swiss and European regulations. With a background in global go-to-market execution, real-world data, and digital health, I bring a pragmatic, execution-focused mindset to transforming healthcare. I operate at the intersection of clinical practice, AI enablement, and regulatory infrastructure—driving innovation that actually delivers for patients.
