Inspiring Better Healthcare Globally - Transforming the Future!
As a Digitalization Humanist, Futurist, and Innovation Key Opinion Leader, I regularly speak at international events about cutting-edge technologies such as Digital Health, Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, Big Data, Augmented Reality / Virtual Reality, 5G, Blockchain, and Healthcare in the Metaverse. However, I believe that while these technologies are truly remarkable, it is crucial to always prioritize people in our design process to ensure that technology serves humans and not the other way around.
Prior to this, I spent approximately 30 years in global roles in big multinationals, primarily in the pharmaceutical industry (about 15 years at Novartis & 1 year at Lonza) and previously in the specialty chemicals industry (about 15 years at Ciba & Ciba Specialty Chemicals). I was fortunate to travel the world and encounter a diverse range of cultures, which was an incredible experience.
As I enter my early retirement phase, I feel compelled to give back to the community. I feel responsible for the world we are handing over to future generations, and I want to support their efforts to create positive change. Although some may argue that I am not personally responsible for the world's issues, I believe that we all have a role to play in creating a better future.
Currently, I serve as an executive advisor, board member, industry advisor, or consultant for various companies in Switzerland, France, UK, India, Kenya, Singapore, and China, primarily in the healthcare industry, but also in manufacturing or supply chain.
