5 years of Evoleen - 5 questions
to Co-founder and Chairman Jean-Daniel
1. Five years ago, in 2018, the foundation of Evoleen took place, and since then, it has experienced remarkable growth. Back then, what were your personal motivations behind founding Evoleen?
The main motivation for me was to improve people’s health with the help of the new opportunities offered by digitalization. This continues to be Evoleen’s North Star: to make a sustainable contribution to improving the health of humanity.
2. Five years after: What makes Evoleen special from your point of view?
I think the two main points that make Evoleen unique are:
1. The experienced employees, who all want to make a difference in the healthcare sector and do so with a strong entrepreneurial spirit.
2. The unique eco-system that sets Evoleen apart. Evoleen can not only offer venture-building but also product development, regulatory/quality, training and financing. In addition, the interplay of our large network of partners such as companies, start-ups, non-governmental organizations, health experts and insurance companies is of great value.
3. Reflecting on the past years, what accomplishments are you particularly proud of?
I am particularly proud that we have succeeded in communicating our vision to customers, employees and investors in such a way that they are also enthusiastic about Evoleen’s business idea.
4. In your role you are also responsible for HR and Talent Management. You have been successful in hiring great talents from all over the world.
How do you attract them in a competing environment?
It is clearly the opportunity to make a difference in healthcare, e.g. to be able to help children with rare diseases or adults with difficult diagnoses. Since we are still a start-up ourselves and can’t pay exorbitant salaries, it certainly helps that more and more people find it more important to do something meaningful than to pant after money. Also, we are able to attract talents from different parts of the world because the Evoleen business concept of having real skin in the game in customer projects and our fast and pragmatic way of working seem to be convincing. They are highly motivated to drive innovation together with big corporations – our partners – in an agile environment.
5. Apart from Evoleen, what other passions drive you?
I love to travel and learn about other cultures. In addition, I used to deal with photography and would like to cultivate this hobby again.
