I am very passionate about the link between high tech and healthcare. With McKinsey I worked for high tech companies, hospitals, pharmaceutical and biotech companies. I also have extensive international background having worked and lived on four continents (Europe, North America, South America and Africa). My undergrad degree was earned in Switzerland and Chile, for McKinsey I worked in 5 different countries in Europe and North Africa and during my MBA I was able to gather experiences in India and the US. I love to learn about and understand different cultures and work with people with very different backgrounds. Lastly I really like problem solving, making operational improvements and coaching people. McKinsey and my MBA have given me a strong tool kit in strategy, finance, operations and organizational topics.
