    Role: Market Development & Strategic Leadership
    Industry: Medical Technology | Neuroscience Research | Translational Innovation

    Overview
    Between 2022 and 2024, I spearheaded the strategic introduction and adoption of non-CE-labeled MR-guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS LIFU) research platforms at leading academic hospitals: Oulu University Hospital (Finland) and UMC Utrecht/Princess Máxima Center (Netherlands).
    This involved navigating complex, non-commercial pathways, including regulatory compliance, ethical frameworks, grant approvals, and institutional procurement processes.

    The project stood out by bridging academia and health innovation ecosystems, enabling pioneering research into neurovascular and glymphatic systems, and opening new frontiers for future therapeutic applications such as liquid biopsies, blood-brain barrier disruption, and targeted drug delivery.

    Key Initiatives & Execution
    ✅ Strategic Stakeholder Orchestration – Managed intricate landscapes across academic research groups, medical offices, compliance units, ethics committees, grants, and procurement.
    ✅ Research Partnership Development – Positioned MRgFUS as a high-potential translational research platform, fostering early insights to guide future healthcare innovations.
    ✅ Academic Value Proposition – Built tailored narratives aligning with institutional research strategies, funding priorities, and translational innovation goals.

    Impact
    ✔ Established a high-profile MRgFUS research site at Oulu University Hospital, advancing studies on brain waste clearance and early dementia biomarkers.
    ✔ Expanded academia-industry collaboration opportunities through customized technology integration.
    ✔ Strengthened INSIGHTEC’s strategic footprint in Europe’s leading neuroscience research hubs, building credibility for future clinical expansion.

    Overview
    Essential tremor (ET) is the most common movement disorder, yet access to effective treatment was historically limited in Denmark.

    Role: Market Development & Strategic Leadership
    Industry: Medical Technology | Healthcare Reimbursement | Health Policy

    Overview
    Essential tremor (ET) is the most common movement disorder, yet access to effective treatment was historically limited in Denmark. Recognizing this, I developed and executed a strategy to position MR-guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS) as a recognized and reimbursed treatment option within the public healthcare system.

    The turning point was a landmark case where a Danish patient—identified in collaboration with the clinical team—traveled to Madrid for treatment, with extensive media coverage. This event generated national awareness, influenced policymakers, and accelerated the approval and reimbursement of MRgFUS in Denmark.

    Key Initiatives & Execution
    ✅ International Stakeholder Engagement – Led collaboration across public, private, and NGO sectors, engaging policymakers, patient organizations, and clinical leaders.
    ✅ Media & Public Awareness – Orchestrated a high-profile media strategy, securing national TV coverage, major newspaper features, and widespread public engagement.
    ✅ Healthcare Policy & Market Access – Worked closely with the Danish Health Authority, influencing regulatory discussions and facilitating integration into national healthcare reimbursement.

    Impact
    ✔ Raised national awareness, accelerating therapy acceptance.
    ✔ Demonstrated how media-driven advocacy influences healthcare policy.
    ✔ Established a scalable model for introducing disruptive medical technologies.
    ✔ Secured long-term reimbursement and patient access to MRgFUS.
