Why did you join UNEEG medical?
I could see there was an opportunity to build a new company in the UK and learn more about how the NHS adopts innovative solutions. I could see that UNEEG was a company going places, with an exciting product in the EEG/neurology space, an area with which I was already familiar in the UK.
What are your responsibilities?
I am responsible for developing the long-term UK strategy. I lead all commercial activity and ultimately seek to achieve the widespread adoption of the current and future platforms that UNEEG brings to market.
What is the most challenging part of your job?
The most challenging aspect is navigating the huge NHS healthcare system. But since we have the right support, we’re already achieving some great wins. I love growing a new market and the prospect of one day seeing our technology being widely adopted and bringing benefits to patients.
How is it to work for a Danish company from abroad?
Despite being in the UK, I always feel part of the wider Danish/European team, and everyone is very welcoming. There are no language barriers, and the Danes are great to work alongside. Although I am in the UK, there is a real sense of togetherness. Everyone is focused on the same goals, which creates a great team spirit. I felt happy on my first day in UNEEG and I’ve never looked back.
How would you describe the culture in UNEEG?
The culture is one of hard, focused work. We share and celebrate our successes but also don’t forget to enjoy what we’re doing!
