I’ve led fundraising efforts, strategic partnerships, and investor relations, building valuable connections with angel investors, venture capitalists, and founders of deeptech startups. As a founder myself at Optoceutics, I’ve navigated the seed-stage fundraising process and am currently focused on advancing our strategic goals toward securing Series A investment.

Ivan Costa Abalo

I have over 8 years of experience in the healthcare industry, spanning both medical devices and pharmaceuticals. My career began in Buenos Aires, Argentina (where I’m from), working hands-on maintaining and repairing medical devices, an experience that gave me a strong technical foundation. Over time, I discovered a passion for education as I began training healthcare professionals on the proper use of these devices, which was very rewarding.

Later, I transitioned into data, stepping briefly outside the healthcare sector to join Mærsk Drilling, where I developed data quality indicators. This confirmed how much I enjoy the intersection of data and science, so I eventually returned to healthcare, joining Novo Nordisk as a Clinical Trial Data Manager and later moving to Zealand Pharma, where I’m currently based. This role allows me to combine stakeholder management with scientific thinking and data-driven project management.

I’m now focused on strengthening my leadership skills and growing into more strategic roles, ideally within data management, where I can continue bridging science, systems, and people.
