Build meaningful products.
Lead with empathy.

Hi, I’m Tanja. With 15+ years at the intersection of healthcare, software and AI, I bring hands-on R&D leadership and product clarity across startups and corporates. Let’s build what matters with the right strategy, strong teams, and real outcomes.

About Me

I turn deep tech into product-ready solutions by building and leading innovation-driven R&D teams, especially in complex, regulated healthcare environments.

My experience spans corporates, scale-ups and startups: delivering revenue-critical products in established companies, building research divisions in a high-growth scale-up, and shaping product and culture as CPO in an early-stage venture.

What drives me is creating clarity where strategy, technology and people intersect so teams can deliver outcomes that last.

What I Build

  • Products shaped by data, user & market insight
  • Scalable software platforms in regulated domains
  • AI & spatial computing applied to real-world problems
  • Data ecosystems that connect research, product & compliance

How I Create Value

  • Setting strategic direction for innovation & product development
  • Translating organizational goals into actionable roadmaps
  • Building teams that thrive & mentoring future leaders
  • Fostering resilient, collaborative cultures
