In their previous roles as COO and Head of the Project Management Office respectively, both Jan-Philipp and Kareen helped develop the structure, systems and processes that have seen the organisation thrive to this point. Now, both will continue to shape the future direction of the organisation as we strive to connect the healthcare needs of citizens with policy makers and our powerful network of more than 140 partners, to deliver innovations that transform healthcare outcomes across the continent.

I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of the EIT Health Supervisory Board to thank our outgoing CEO, Sylvie Bove, for her great achievements during the establishment phase of EIT Health, and to wish her the very best in her future endeavours.

Today is an exciting day for EIT Health as we embark on the next stage of our development. I know you will all join me in welcoming Jan-Philipp and Kareen into their new roles, and wishing them the very best of success as they lead EIT Health forward.
