Q: What do you enjoy about working in medtech?
A: I enjoy working in medtech because it touches patients, peers, co-workers, customers and clinicians. We encounter a lot of people, which keeps you grounded. I also really enjoy that I get to meet so many people around the world. It opens your view on the world. You understand people better and I have real, genuine interest in people. I believe that’s important.
Q: Is there a woman who had mentored or inspired you?
A: I admire a lot of people; gender should not matter. I’ve learned a lot from the people around me, men and women, by having an open mind, listening and trying to understand their point of view. Respect is key and you can learn from every single person you meet and make your own self with all these different pieces of the puzzle.
