Pharma, MedTech & Healthcare

Market entry and team build-up in healthcare

Regulation, reimbursement and clinical access make market entry complex. I help manufacturers establish themselves in Germany and Italy and build the right teams in Germany.

The situation

Strict rules, complex market access

The European Medical Device Regulation, lengthy approval paths and fragmented hospital and rehabilitation markets slow new providers. Companies need people who connect market access, sales and regulatory work in the market’s own language.

My experience

Medical technology from first-hand experience

I learned medical technology at Humanware, complemented by years in HR management at a pharmaceutical group in Latin America.
