I have held roles of board member as well as chairman of the board for the Scrum Alliance. At Medtronic I was General Manager of the Patient Management Business supporting all cardiac implant businesses. At Sanofi I was CTO of the Medical Device Development group (MED), working on digital drug delivery systems as well as leveraging that data and data from other devices to deliver services around the drugs that accomplish better patient compliance and improved outcomes (“beyond the drug”). Prior to joining Sanofi, I worked as CTO at a digital pathology startup-up (JV between UPMC and GE Healthcare) and prior to that I was Vice President of Engineering and Vital Images (now a Toshiba company), facilitating the transition from traditional 2D image review to enterprise 3D image management. I am an entrepreneur “by DNA” and passionate about leveraging technologies to bring new and innovative solutions to solve our healthcare challenges.

I received a Master of Science and a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science in the field of 3D computer graphics, specifically applied to Medical Imaging, from the Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen, Germany.
