episode Christopher Hertz on Medtech, wound care & the reality of building a startup cover

Christopher Hertz on Medtech, wound care & the reality of building a startup

In this episode of leadership lab, Maurice Thornton speaks with Christopher Hertz, Founder and Managing Director of Piomic, about what it really takes to build a medtech startup. Christopher shares his journey from molecular biology at ETH Zurich to co-founding piomic, a company working in advanced wound care. What started as a nine-month “let’s see if this works” idea became a much longer journey through prototypes, investors, clinical studies, FDA Breakthrough Device Designation, and the reality of trying to bring a medical device to patients. Together, Maurice and Christopher talk about non-healing wounds, the hidden burden of diabetic wound care, why staying close to physicians, nurses and patients matters, and why healthcare innovation cannot happen only from behind a desk. They also discuss the founder side of the story: building the right team, making difficult decisions, raising money, creating a board, almost giving up, travelling endlessly, and learning how to keep going when things get heavy.

episode AI is helping candidates… so why does hiring feel harder? Jana Herrmann, Roche's Global Head Integrated Workforce Strategies, answers cover

AI is helping candidates… so why does hiring feel harder? Jana Herrmann, Roche's Global Head Integrated Workforce Strategies, answers

AI is making CVs look better than ever — but is it actually making hiring easier? In this episode of leadership lab, Maurice sits down with Jana Herman, Chapter Lead for Integrated Workforce Strategies at Roche (Basel), to break down what’s changing in recruitment right now — and what isn’t. Jana shares why candidates are currently the biggest winners from AI, how hiring teams handle huge application volumes, and why human experts are still doing the screening in many organisations. They also unpack video interviews, internal talent marketplaces, and the long-promised shift to skills-based hiring. Along the way, Jana walks us through her career journey — from growing up in Brazil to studying in Geneva, working as a flight attendant, moving into HR and executive search, and ultimately shaping a global workforce strategy function inside Roche. In this episode: * AI, CV screening, and why “perfect” applications can slow hiring down * How recruiters manage high volumes without losing candidate experience * Video interviews: when they help, when they frustrate * Culture fit vs the “perfect CV” * Internal gigs and talent marketplaces (and the guard rails they need) * Skills-based hiring: big promise, hard execution * Career advice: impact, networks, comfort zones, and why “the right time” is a myth If you enjoyed this conversation, follow leadership lab and share the episode with someone hiring — or job hunting — right now.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
