I hold degrees in Medicine from the University of Witten/Herdecke, Public Health from Hanover Medical School, and Business Administration from Edinburgh Business School. Currently, I serve as a Professor of Health Outcomes and Management at Hanover Medical School. Over the past 20 years, I’ve gained extensive executive experience in the pharmaceutical industry, including roles such as Manager of the HIV Sales Team covering the five boroughs of New York, Brand Director in the US, Business Unit Head in Germany, and Head of HTA & Market Access Germany.

In 2017, I founded r-connect (www.r-connect.org), a strategic consulting organization based in Basel, Switzerland. Since 2018, I’ve been leading the ‘German Platform on Benefit Assessment’, a collaboration with Springer Medicine. In 2021, I established the European Access Academy (EAA) (www.euaac.org), with the mission of advancing access and evidence generation across Europe.
