I am a global business leader with a proven track record of driving growth across Digital Health, Medical Devices, and FMCG. My career foundation in FMCG shaped my approach to building and growing businesses, developing strong capabilities in brand building, consumer-centric strategy, and go-to-market execution. I have successfully applied these skills to Medical Devices and Digital Health, including my current role at dacadoo. As COO at dacadoo and a member of the Global Executive Leadership Team, I lead the end-to-end go-to-market strategy, from business strategy through execution, driving global sales, business development, and growth of our digital health platform portfolio across industries and markets worldwide. I personally lead key account pitches, manage strategic client relationships, and support my sales team in driving business development in a B2B2C environment. Over the course of my career, I have built, transformed, and accelerated businesses across diverse geographies, from established multinational organizations to high-growth global startups. My experience spans general management, global sales & marketing, and business development, with a consistent focus on delivering measurable results. Having worked across multiple countries and cultures, I bring a pragmatic, hands-on leadership style that builds high-performing teams, fosters alignment, and drives outcomes in complex international environments. Fluent in five languages, I am comfortable operating across markets, cultures, and organizational contexts.
