“I trained as an ENT surgeon, but I have spent the last decade at the intersection of medicine, technology, and entrepreneurship. I co-developed medical devices now used across multiple countries and mentored innovators and instituitions. Every project I take on is driven by one question: does this actually reach the patient who needs it?”

I specialize in transforming visionary ideas into impactful, market-ready solutions to achieve sustainable growth and profitable innovations.
