Innovation Consultant Life sciences and Health

At Catalyze, as an Innovation consultant life science and health, I am continually presented with opportunities that not only broaden my knowledge but also enhance my skills. We excel in our respective fields, fostering a culture where learning from one another is the norm. Catalyze is a hub of exceptional talent, driven by a commitment to making a significant impact. Our team is not just skilled but also incredibly approachable and supportive. This unique blend of professionalism and warmth creates an environment where innovation thrives and personal growth is inevitable.

This culture of innovation and personal growth at Catalyze deeply resonates with my personal journey. My longstanding passion for technology and innovation drove me to pursue a Bachelor’s and a Master of Philosophy in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Manchester, where I focused my research on robotics and lower limb prosthetics. This interest stems from my grandmother’s experience. Her life changed dramatically after a hip fracture. Until then, she was active and healthy, but the fracture at her advanced age proved to be a severe setback. Witnessing her lose her independence, I wondered about the medical devices that could have aided her. This led me to delve into the world of biomedical devices, questioning their design and construction. It was here that my interest in healthcare began, coupled with a realization of the urgent need for innovation in this space — a challenge I eagerly wanted to tackle.

However, I came to understand that innovation is just the starting point. The journey from a groundbreaking idea to a successful market presence is arduous and multifaceted. It’s not merely about expertise in a specific field; it’s about the holistic process of bringing an idea to life. This includes securing funding and investments, which are crucial for startups. Navigating these financial landscapes can be as challenging as the technical aspects of innovation. Moreover, startups face hurdles like market competition, regulatory compliance, and the need to continuously adapt to rapidly changing technology trends. This complex landscape fueled my passion in entrepreneurship. It led me to be involved in various startups, each offering its unique challenges and learning opportunities. My most significant accomplishment in this realm was co-founding a bespoke AI technology firm in San Francisco with a team from NASA, Google, and Meta. This was an immensely challenging yet enlightening experience, teaching me valuable lessons in business resilience and adaptability.

These experiences seamlessly led me to Catalyze, where my aspirations and skills find their perfect match. Here, I’m deeply involved in healthcare, collaborating with innovative startups and research centers. We’re pushing the boundaries in fields like cancer treatment and gene therapy. My role is vital in their success as I help them secure non-dilutive funding, which is crucial in this sector. I brainstorm and develop their business positioning, including commercialization roadmaps, go-to-market strategies, and competitor analysis. Raising over €6.5 million in my first 10 months, I continue to grow and learn, driven by the diverse challenges and opportunities presented by our clients and colleagues.
