HOW DID YOU COME TO WORK IN THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY?

-

Helena Samsioe: “I grew up with two parents who both worked as doctors globally, so since I was a child, I travelled and lived in many different places and especially spent a lot of time growing up in both Asia and Africa. This is where my interest in healthcare originated from.

“As an adult I found myself interested in internatio­nal business, and my first job was Management Consultanc­y for a health management consultanc­y firm. Through this position I was introduced to the growing field of healthcare technologi­es. However, there was at the time very few suppliers through which to get hold of these new technologi­es, such as drones.

“This later led me to launch GLOBHE; to answer the shortage, demand and potential of drones being used in healthcare to help solve global health problems. And this is exactly what we do today.”
