Sven Piechottka

With a background in political and administrative sciences, my way into regulatory affairs started from a different angle. I focused on the promises of precision medicine during my final year of studies and first joined IBM to help leverage healthcare innovation projects across Germany.

I then gained most of my regulatory experience while working for Vara (before: Merantix Healthcare), where we built up a quality management system from scratch. For about three years, I coordinated regulatory affairs, led the ISO 13485 certification and CE certification of an AI-based radiology software, and served as data protection officer and quality management officer of the company.
