Over deze freelancer
Hi
Throughout my career, from Management Consulting to Customer Success and Product & Innovation Management, I've gained a 360-degree perspective of what drives success. I've witnessed how ideas transform into market-ready solutions, improving outcomes for patients and caregivers. My experience has shown that breaking silos and fostering interplay between teams and actors in an ecosystem, creates proactive future-proof value in healthcare. Central to this approach is a deep commitment to customer-centricity, designing solutions for and with customers by empathizing with their journey and addressing their evolving needs.
In 2024, I, Hedieh Goodarzi, founded GoInnoMed to help ventures access critical knowledge in a flexible and cost-effective way. Emerging ventures often require specialized expertise without the resources to justify full-time hires across all domains. Additionally, success in HealthTech hinges on an integrated approach to Product Management, Innovation Management, and Customer Success Management creating lasting customer value and achieve sustainable business growth, both now and in the future.
What sets me apart is how deeply I've worked with customers—not just in meeting rooms, but on the ground. I've spent years inside hospitals, working shoulder-to-shoulder with Heads of Departments, Superusers, Biomed, and Operations teams. This hands-on exposure shaped my approach to innovation: I anticipate unmet needs early, understand the downstream effects of weak integration, and proactively design upstream solutions that stick. I led the shift from fragmented innovation to customer-aligned portfolios, with roadmaps that addressed not only features, but the end-to-end journey: Land, Adapt, Expand, and Renew. I would bring that same systems mindset as your strategic advisor—ensuring your solutions not only scale, but stick.
Look Forward to connecting to explore how we can collaborate!
Best regards, Hedieh Goodarzi
