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.
