An impressive career to date

Between 1998 and 2004, Elisabeth had multiple roles in various operative capacities at Siemens AG in Germany, Singapore and China. She then held positions between 2005 and 2009 which included management functions in the areas of procurement and controlling, as well as in manufacturing.

She studied economics, Sinology and history in Vienna, Beijing, and Nanjing.

"We have set ourselves very ambitious targets to address the manifold opportunities ahead for global health systems. One of our priorities is to change the status quo, where half of the world’s population lack access to essential health services. We are committed to do that through innovation, digitally-enabled services and solutions, and multi-stakeholder collaborations. For everyone, everywhere," says Elisabeth.
