Position: Senior Consultant in AI and Data Strategy at Deloitte

I am an expert in Bioinformatics and Data Science applications for 5+ years. I am an Alumnus of DTU since 2017 from where I graduated with MSc in Bioinformatics and Systems Biology! Since then I completed my PhD in EMBL (Germany) and worked for various companies as a Data Consultant and Research Scientist including startups (e.g. Blusense in Copenhagen, Denmark and Etcembly in Cambridge, UK) and well established biotech corporations (e.g. Evotec in Munich, Germany). Currently I am working as a Business Senior Consultant for AI and Data in Deloitte in Munich, Germany. Through my experiences and expert background I have helped companies in Europe to scale their Life Science-related business and make the most out of their produced data for either Biotech or Pharma applications.

Motivation

I participated myself as a mentee in one of DTU’s mentorship programmes back in 2017 and it was a fruitful experience which literally shaped my future steps. Therefore, I would like to gladly offer my gained knowledge over the years while having been in “the shoes” of the mentees and hence understanding their needs for business, market and science knowledge. From this experience I believe that both me and the mentee will expand our profile networks while exchanging knowledge and experiences about current state-of-art developments in the relevant fields but also for me personally it would be a great chance to develop my team management and motivational skillset!
