About Christoph

I support HealthTech and MedTech companies as well as investors in successfully commercializing complex software and data-based solutions in the German healthcare system – with a focus on hospitals, MedTech, and industrial customers.

I work analytically, decision-oriented, and hands-on – from refining the value proposition and go-to-market logic to taking on an operational interim role as Commercial / Go-to-Market Lead with ownership for new business, pipeline, closing, and market entry.

My contribution includes both strategic sparring at management level and hands-on implementation: building, enabling, and handing over functional sales structures.

Typical fields of application:
• Market entry & commercialization of new products
• Transition from founder-led sales to scalable sales
• Management of complex deals with hospitals, payers, MedTech, and industrial customers
• Public tenders & structured offer processes

I bring 15+ years of experience in Digital Health, MedTech, and Healthcare Analytics – including regulated markets (MDR, ISO 13485), complex buying centers, and data-driven value argumentation.

Goal of every mandate:
clear market positioning, robust pipeline, and sustainable sales capability.
