About

I am an entrepreneurial consultant with both operative and strategy development experience. My strategy background comes from more than 25 consulting projects as part of BCG and as an independent management consultant, focusing on strategy and corporate development topics in the healthcare industry.

After leaving BCG, I founded ProteiQ Biosciences - a next-generation LC-MS proteomics provider serving pharmaceutical companies and academic research groups. I raised over €2M in capital, built a cloud-based data processing pipeline handling up to 50 TB per batch, and grew the company from zero to €400k annual revenue.

Today, through LNQP, I help healthcare and life sciences companies with market research, competitive analysis, and strategic decision-making. I bring the analytical rigor of top-tier consulting combined with the practical perspective of building and running a business.
