About

As Digital Workflow Manager for EMEA at Straumann Group, I lead the strategic implementation and commercialisation of chairside digital solutions across the region, including intraoral scanners, AXS, Smilecloud, and digital treatment planning tools. Over the past 9 years at Straumann, I’ve held roles across marketing, product management, and digital transformation in both local and global contexts, working in markets such as Brazil, the UK, and now Switzerland. This diverse experience has allowed me to bridge clinical, commercial, and operational priorities across different healthcare systems. My work focuses on accelerating digital adoption by aligning technology with real-world clinical workflows. I’ve developed structured learning journeys for large dental organisations, led regional go-to-market strategies, and built scalable sales enablement and training programmes to support digital growth. I’m known for a collaborative, hands-on approach and a strong commercial mindset. I’m passionate about connecting product, sales, services, and education to deliver seamless digital experiences that create real value for clinicians and their patients.

    • Product Manager for Anthogyr
      Apr 2022 - Aug 2024 · 2 yrs 5 mos

      During my time as Anthogyr Product Manager, I focused on building a true partnership with the sales team to implement a scaling-up strategy, which successfully delivered over 30% sales growth for three consecutive years. I addressed the brand's primary challenge of scaling up with existing resources by employing a two-pillar strategy centered on technology and community. By leveraging automation and AI, I enhanced efficiency, and I fostered a self-sustaining community that could operate independently of the core team. I played a key role in launching hybrid educational programs that combined online modules with hands-on training and developed a robust e-onboarding process, which helped reclaim valuable time for the sales teams, leading to significant potential returns. Additionally, I cultivated a pool of community leaders to manage engagement and provide clinical support, strengthening the brand's connection with its user base and contributing to its sustained market growth.
