Meet our team, our greatest asset
I have a background in sports physiology, biomechanics and a master’s in health sciences & technologies from ETH Zurich. As co-founder and CEO I shape our vision, holistically implement our strategy and influence our operations in the commercialization and tech development tracks. I interface with our board of directors, support customer acquisition and drive our fundraising efforts.
I have a background in polymers, biosignals and a master’s in health sciences & technologies from ETH Zurich. As co-founder and CCO I shape our vision, holistically implement our strategy and drive our commercialization efforts. I coordinate all efforts in marketing, sales, customer relations and business operations. As former CTO and tech-savvy entrepreneur, I am also in charge of managing our IP.
I have a PhD of Sciences in Mechanical and Process Engineering, with significant experience in cutting-edge technology and products, specifically in sensors, energy harvesting, thermoelectrics and wearables. I am managing all R&D at IDUN, coordinating material development, electronics development, application engineering, physiology research and software development.
I am an experienced polymer chemist, having completed a PhD and Post-Doc at ETH Zurich. I am well versed in matters of chemistry and product engineering, with experience in automotive thermoplastics, textiles and wearable computing. I lead our material development, including material selection, processing and testing, in-house sample production and prototyping. I am also the safety officer for our labs, and in charge of quality control.
As IDUN’s first employee, I have been responsible for data acquisition, electronics development, bio signal processing and IT infrastructure. I am very hands-on and am the go-to for any tech tasks we need done. Alongside my job at IDUN, I am finishing up my studies in Informatics and Computer Science at ZHAW School of Engineering.
I am interning at IDUN where I work on electrical and mechanical characterization of the electrochemical skin-electrode interface. I am running various impedance and biosignal experiments on synthetic and real skin and help improve the material selection for various biomonitoring applications. I am also involved in in-house prototyping of various 2D and 3D structures. I am currently doing a 6 month internship at IDUN.
With my background in mechanical engineering, mechatronics and software engineering, I support IDUN in developing the data side of our applications to best suit the needs of the user. My experience in autonomous systems, data analysis and data visualization allow me to push the data side of our applications to the next level.
As an artist-engineer, I take a holistic approach to developing products at IDUN. My PhD in mechanical engineering and background in materials science allow me to bridge the gap between R&D and applications. My understanding of biopotential signals and the hardware allows me to translate our ideas into products people will love.
I am the office manager of IDUN. With my background as baker with an additional commercial apprenticeship, I have an eye for details and make sure our office runs at full functional. Additionally, I support IDUN in any administrative tasks needed in overseeing our corporate governance.
I am interning at IDUN where I work on electrical and mechanical characterization of the electrochemical skin-electrode interface. I create our real-life data sets from various application-specific tests, and process this data to understand correlations between these materials and the bio signals. As a trained biomedical engineer, I am also expanding IDUN’s knowhow on the electrode-amplifier interface. After my 6 months internship I will write a 6-month master thesis with IDUN.
Our advisory board
I have held senior management positions in multiple large corporations (Domino’s Pizza, Intelligent Medical Implant, etc.), totaling over 20 years of diversified business and administrative experience in private and public companies. As CFO at IDUN, I help guide us in all financial matters.
As CEO of MICA Ventures, I oversee and manage 15+ investments in a diversified portfolio of companies. I also hold a position as interim CFO at Evolute, a fintech startup, as well as an advisory board member position at Partners Group Impact. As board member and advisor to IDUN I help the founders steer the startup towards success.
Having founded an HR Tech startup and supported many companies throughout their growth phases, I now lead a Zurich based advertising agency with customers all over the country. My entrepreneurial know-how and 12+ years of marketing experience allow me to assist IDUN in implementing our brand strategy.
I am a management consultant with extensive branding, strategic marketing and business development experience, advising both established companies and start-ups. I have worked in multiple renowned agencies in Zurich and as marketing manager for a software company, and now I am a business owner as well as a brand advisor for an e-car sharing provider.
