My Story
My professional journey has been driven by one clear goal: to make healthcare technology truly work for people—clinicians, patients, and organizations alike.
I am a biomedical engineer and digital health expert with more than two decades of experience spanning academia, research, and global medical technology companies. I earned my Ph.D. in Engineering Sciences from the University of California, San Diego, where my early work laid the foundation for my lifelong focus on medical systems, interoperability, and cyber-physical healthcare solutions.
My career has taken me across the full spectrum of innovation—from post-doctoral research at NASA’s Ames Research Center, to senior leadership roles in renowned organizations such as Fraunhofer, Dräger, and Richard Wolf. In these roles, I led complex R&D initiatives, built medical software and device platforms, and translated cutting-edge research into real-world clinical solutions.
Over the years, I recognized that successful digital health transformation is not just about technology. It requires a deep understanding of clinical workflows, regulatory frameworks, interoperability standards, and organizational realities. This insight led me to found MT2IT and later JUM eHealth Consulting, where I support healthcare and MedTech organizations in designing, building, and scaling secure, standards-based, future-ready health IT solutions.
Alongside my industry work, I remain deeply connected to academia as an associated professor at the University of Lübeck, contributing to research and education in eHealth, medical software systems, and healthcare interoperability. I actively engage in international research initiatives, conferences, and standards communities to help shape the future of connected healthcare.
Today, my work focuses on bridging strategy and execution—helping organizations navigate digital health complexity with clarity, compliance, and confidence. I believe in open standards, pragmatic innovation, and technology that delivers measurable clinical and operational value.
