Descrizione:
We are looking for a CEO to scale an innovative healthcare startup in Italy
Today there are ca. 10M chronic patients in Italy, with increasing multi-pathology cases. 30-50% of them do not adhere to prescribed therapies, generating ca. € 2BN yearly costs for the NHS.
We are on a mission to build a next-generation healthcare platform focused on improving therapeutic adherence and simplifying patient journeys.
The company is already operational and currently running pilot activities. We have invested over € 350k internally to develop the platform, secure IP and prepare the product for industrialization.
We are now entering the next phase: scaling operations across Italy, expanding the team and launching commercially.
Therefore we are looking for a strong operational and commercial leader to drive the scale-up phase and act as an external interface for investors and the broader community.
