What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my international business development, partnership management, and multilingual stakeholder coordination experience in cross-border healthcare or similarly complex international markets.

I've built international healthcare partnerships and managed patient pipelines across Europe, Africa, and Turkey, with deep experience in French-speaking markets.

At MLP Care Healthcare Group, I managed a high-volume international patient portfolio and contributed to a treatment-quotation pipeline exceeding USD 4.6M. I coordinated the full patient journey, from referral and medical feedback to pricing, communication, and post-treatment follow-up.

As International Relations Director at Medicine Atlas University Hospital, I established a region-based patient coordination model, managed embassy relationships, and secured agency agreements during COVID-19 to maintain patient flow.

I've also developed cross-border partnerships with African stakeholders, met directly with ministers and senior officials, and supported bilateral initiatives through D.E.I.K. I bring multilingual communication, disciplined follow-up, and practical coordination across hospitals, partners, VIP delegations, and patients.
