Hello, I'm Brigitte v.
I am an experienced strategic advisor and director with a strong track record in public health governance, European cooperation, and innovation in health systems. I have founded and developed non-profit organizations and initiatives with international reach, including the establishment of a WHO Collaborating Centre for public health. My work spans policy advisory, program design, and international representation. I bring extensive experience in managing interdisciplinary and multicultural teams, building institutional partnerships, and steering complex projects — from digital pathology implementation to EU-funded public health initiatives. My expertise covers strategic planning, stakeholder engagement, health diplomacy, and evidence-informed innovation in both policy and practice.
