About Thomas

I am a PhD-level MedTech Product Manager, Technical Writer, and Clinical R&D Engineer specializing in driving complex medical devices through their entire lifecycle. With a deep technical foundation including a PhD in MRI and over 3 years of corporate experience at a global industry leader (Alcon), I seamlessly bridge the gap between rigorous biomedical engineering, regulatory compliance, and international commercial success.

I provide immediate, high-value B2B freelance support and consulting across Germany and Europe, focusing on:

• Medical Device Product Management & GTM Strategy: Portfolio management, owning the strategic roadmap, translating clinical user needs into technical requirements, and managing KOL relationships.
• Technical Writing & Regulatory Compliance: Preparing and optimizing technical documentation, clinical evaluation reports, and design verification protocols in strict compliance with MDR and ISO 13485 standards.
• Cross-Functional Leadership: Acting as the central operational interface to align R&D, Clinical Affairs, Regulatory, and Global Marketing teams across international boundaries.
• Specialized Domain Expertise: Advanced diagnostic imaging systems (MRI), ophthalmic diagnostics/surgical devices, and AI-driven Software as a Medical Device (SaMD).

Whether you are looking to unlock a stalled product roadmap, scale your digital health startup, or need senior hands-on support to clear an MDR compliance backlog, I am equipped to step into your project on Day 1 and deliver results.

Available for remote or hybrid contracts (based in Berlin). Let’s connect to discuss your project parameters.
