😶‍🌫️ Is there a better place to contemplate your next step than California, where so many futures are being invented? The public funding program for Doctolib's hospital patient portal has successfully run its course, and with it, my mission at the company has come to a meaningful close. Together, we secured a leading market position and are now serving healthcare professionals and patients across large private chains, public university hospitals, and regional providers. I’m immensely proud of the new market segment we built and the progress we made in advancing digitalization in healthcare 🏥👩🏽‍💻. I want to take a moment to thank some of the people who made this ride unforgettable: Alexandra Diers-Frenzel, Alexander Friesen, Frederick Marczyk, Ghalia Selim, Dr. Ilias Tsimpoulis, Ioannis (Yannis) Goudakos, Isabell Hoch, Jan Vielstich, Janis Maxim Laser, Jette Karos, Juliana Olvera Esquivel, Kai Peters, Katharina la Marca, Katharina Schweidtmann, Katharina Neumann, Maren Reuber, Marissa Rolls, Martin Eberhart, Maximilian Paul Reymann, Maximilian von Loewenstein, Funzi Olga B., Pavlo Dyban, Peter J. Heil, Sadra S., Sandra Kahl, PhD, Stefanie Bialas-Filter, Thilo von Steinburg, Veit Straetz. You rock 🤘🏻, thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the laughs, the hustle, and the true team spirit along the way. As for my own future, I'll keep doing what I love, but with a twist that I'm excited to share soon ✨. For a hint, just look at California State Route 1 👇🏻. An absolute icon of American engineering, now facing growing risks from erosion, climate extremes, and its aging foundation. Recent landslides have led to the closure of parts of the road, with no clear timeline for reopening 🫠 Sounds familiar, Germany?
