  • Anne Fleischer: From Intelligent Bricks to Global Obesity Solutions at Novo Nordisk

    Anne Fleischer: From Intelligent Bricks to Global Obesity Solutions at Novo Nordisk
    Jun 18 2025
    ⚠️ Warning: Listening to this episode may cause spontaneous inspiration, side effects include rethinking innovation, falling in love with Denmark, and Googling “intelligent bricks.” Meet Anne C. Fleischer — engineer, innovator, former LEO Pharma exec, and now leading Consumer Engagement & New Business Models for Obesity at Novo Nordisk. She grew up in a village so small that your soccer team was whoever showed up to class that day. She wanted to be a helicopter pilot or a doctor, but got motion sickness and couldn’t get into med school...... So she built a new path- literally - constructing heart pump mannequins, NFC-enabled pavement tiles, and eventually digital health products that helped millions. 💥 This episode is a masterclass in doing things differently—with a sense of humor, a killer vision, and a very Danish ability to keep it real.

  • Farina Schurzfeld: From Rocket Internet to Digital Health’s DiGA Queen

    Farina Schurzfeld: From Rocket Internet to Digital Health’s DiGA Queen
    Apr 30 2025
    Ever wonder what happens when a German economics grad skips the surf lessons in Sydney and builds one of Australia’s fastest-scaling startups? Farina Schurzfeld did exactly that — and then turned the same operational firepower toward mental health. In this episode of #TheShot of #DigitalHealth Therapy, Jim Joyce and I speak with Farina who shares her journey from launching Groupon in Australia to co-founding Selfapy (Germany’s leading digital mental health platform) and taking it through the bureaucratic gauntlet of DiGA approval - before stepping back to build AndRobin, a sidekick-for-hire growth and ops squad. 💻 Fast growth isn't sustainable without long-term thinking and ethical grounding. 🛒 What scales in e-commerce doesn’t always translate to regulated, B2B-driven systems. 🏥 Selfapy didn’t start with DiGA—but became a pioneer anyway. They built for users, then adapted as policy opened the reimbursement door. 🛠️ Startups need senior operators, not just advisors or consultants AndRobin fills the Series A void with hands-on executional leadership. 🚪 Step out when your superpower isn’t needed anymore 👇If you're in digital health, health tech, or just building something that matters - this one’s for you Fun mentions as always: Roberto Ascione Frontiers Health Andrew Mason Bundesinstitut für Arzneimittel und Medizinprodukte hims & hers
