About Matthias
Strategic Healthcare & Life Sciences Advisor | Interim CSO | Bridging the Gap Between Innovation and Adoption for MedTech, HealthTech & Pharma
About me:
You’ve built the innovation. Now let's build the business. For leaders in MedTech, HealthTech, Pharma, and Biotech, health system entry can often feel slow, uncertain, and highly complex. I help growth-stage companies achieve steady, strategic, and scalable growth by turning your product into a fundable, market-ready business. Whether you need to break into complex health systems, expand into new international markets, or design scalable commercial models, I provide the strategic clarity and interim CSO-level leadership to help you gain traction faster. I specialise in building value propositions that actually land with decision-makers, aligning your product directly with local and national healthcare priorities to ensure successful adoption.
I know both sides of the healthcare system.
With over 15 years of international experience, I have led strategy from inside the NHS (both acute and payer environments), within top-tier consulting, and across private industry advisory. This 360-degree perspective means I don't just build theoretical go-to-market strategies; I design pathways based on how health systems actually think, operate, and buy.
