Comment(s)
Maria is somewhat a hybrid professional with Biology,
R&D, Innovation Consultancy and Management on her portfolio.
Maria has lift off her professional career by learning
the ways of Biology followed by 10 years of R&D with published scientific
articles, a PhD and two Post-docs in Health sciences as outputs. The urges for challenging
herself, namely being involved in bringing innovative ideas from paper to
market and see them thriving, led her to switch gears towards Management and Innovation
consultancy. Along the way, Maria was lucky to have worked in
various international set ups gaining substantial experience in multicultural
social and professional settings – some examples are: the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital (Paris,
France), Paraplegian Nacional Hospital (Toledo, Spain), National Institute for
Medical Research (London, UK) and Trudeau Institute (New York, US).
For almost 4 years Maria then worked as a project developer/ innovation
consultant in a multinational Danish consultancy firm, Innovayt – during this
experience, Maria has broaden considerably her innovation and managerial skill
set and immersed herself in the most various business areas and fields of
knowledge, ranging from medical devices to logistics or renewable energy
technologies.
Maria currently works as an Innovation Consultant at the Blue Bioeconomy CoLAB whithin the fields of sustainable aquaculture, live marine resources and marine biotechnology.
