I am deeply passionate about science and people—a synergy that led me to pursue a career in medicine. Following the completion of my undergraduate studies in Berlin, I embarked on a surgical career in both the UK and Germany. Over time, I found my true calling in surgical oncology, where I specialized in caring for patients with breast cancer, sarcoma, melanoma, and other malignancies.

Motivated by a vision to bridge science with patient care and to broaden treatment options for cancer patients, I transitioned into industry research. Since then, I have successfully led teams of varying sizes across clinical research, development, commercial functions, and medical affairs. My contributions have supported the development and launch of therapies spanning oncology, immunology, cardiovascular disease, transplantation, and infectious diseases.

Throughout my career, I have attained a Research MD, an MBA, FRCS and FFPM qualifications, specialty registration, and the honorary GFMD. My work has been published across multiple disciplines, including surgery, medical affairs, public health, medicine development, and the application of artificial intelligence in healthcare.
