I co-founded Ensofy, where we developed an AI platform that detects early signs of mental health disorders, using vocal biomarkers. We launched one of the first vocal biomarker clinical trials in the EU, and partnered with a leading Telehealth provider in Italy with over a million members.
Prior to becoming a founder, I worked as a Management Consultant in Berlin, leading projects in diagnostics, imaging, and nuclear medicine, working with pharma clients such as Bayer.

I’m curious about bringing new healthcare products to markets. Here’s how I help:

• Go-to-Market Strategy: I develop go-to-market strategies based on market insights, product strengths and dynamics, and assist teams from early validation through launch.
• B2B Sales: I build highly scalable outbound sales systems using AI workflows to accelerate pipeline growth and close high-value deals.
• Clinical Strategy: I support early stage clinical pilots, including design, ethics submissions and recruitment of academic partners.
• Fundraising: I help founders with funding rounds, from pitch decks to investor profiling and targeting.
