Believing in the power of collaboration and the people around me, I support organizations to establish and grow effective and efficient design processes, focusing on product discovery and outcome-oriented experimentation.
Currently, I'm supporting Lingoda's (B2B) mission to reduce labor shortage in the health sector by enabling foreign health workers (nurses, doctors, midwifes) to receive their accreditation to be able to work in Germany.
Experience
Enabling german healthcare institutions to hire foreign health workers by providing learning experiences that help them to successfully pass their state exam. Managing a complex process in an immature product environment, advocating for customer centricity and running product discovery. The main areas of my involvement are 1. building out a platform for healthcare stakeholders to manage an increasing number of students and 2. improving the students learning experience and overall journey.
