T. Buchner, FlowMedical
“Stefanie and I worked together as part of the management team of FlowMedical, a startup selling peripheral devices. I have seldom seen somebody as dedicated and committed to the role. Her entrepreneurial mindset was key to building up structures, esp. in a start up environment. She posses highly valuable strategic capabilities and is very strong when it comes to execution and generation of immediate results. Apart from her professional skills, she is a real team player and has a great sense of humor which helped myself and the team to navigate around all challenges coming along the way.”
P. Lucks, Johnson & Johnson
“Stefanie was my manager at Neuravi and Johnson & Johnson. She played a pivotal role in the integration of the two organizations, creating the business plans, hiring key talent to the newly formed organization and establishing Cerenovus as a brand in a crowded market. The task was very complex due to the fractured nature of the combined portfolio with little common strategic framework. Stefanie formulated a 3-year strategic plan, worked on market access strategies and established a pricing framework for the entire portfolio of products. It was a great opportunity for me to learn from Stefanie´s talent to quickly assess business situations, gather relevant data and condense everything into a crisp and tangible recommendation of action for the entire organization. Her combined sales, market development and leadership experience allows her to drive business and organizational development with a particular feeling for individual business priorities. While performing at the highest level, Stefanie is a humble leader with superb empathy and inter-cultural sensitivity. It was a pleasure to work with her. Any organization with strategic challenges will benefit from Stefanie´s input."
I. Barta, Haemonetics
“Stefanie was my supervisor in her role as Sales Director for the DACH region at Haemonetics, a company that leads the field in diagnostic devices for blood management.
Her focus was on the post-merger integration of the startup enicor, product relaunch, and the harmonization of team and sales processes. The speed and effectiveness with which she mastered this complex field and steered the business towards growth were truly remarkable.
In addition to her strategic acumen, Stefanie demonstrated exceptional leadership by proactively addressing team dynamics through well-thought-out restructuring proposals. Her proactive approach allowed me to grow into a new and exciting role, for which I am immensely grateful.
Stefanie's high standards are matched by her fairness and transparency in communication, always delivered with a touch of humor that makes working with her a delight.
Her initiative in conducting a comprehensive market analysis has given the team a strong foundation for our sales strategy in Germany, enabling us to prioritize our customer targeting with clarity and precision.
I cannot recommend Stefanie highly enough for market development and commercialization in the medtech sector. Her expertise, vision, and inspiring leadership make her an invaluable asset to any organization looking to achieve remarkable growth and success."
H. Hesselmann, Medtronic
"We worked together as colleagues at Covidien Neurovascular (now Medtronic). As a Business Development Manager, Stefanie was responsible for expanding the applications of the 'Ischemic Stroke' products. Among other things, she organized numerous events with key opinion leaders, which significantly contributed to differentiating from the competition in a highly competitive market. Stefanie has extensive knowledge in the field of stroke and has built a strong network with neurologists and neuroradiologists. Working with her was always a pleasure. In short: customer-oriented, smart and pragmatic solutions, fast and reliable implementation. If you need someone to drive strategic market development in a complex environment, she is the ideal choice."
K. Hilker, Endologix
“We have worked as sales colleagues at Endologix. Within a short period of time Stefanie could build a solid network to KOLs and to other colleagues within the company. She has also managed to develop a profound clinical knowhow within vascular surgery. Her outstanding communications skills, her strategic approach and her perseverance helped her to generate great sales achievements. Her friendly nature will surely be missed.”
