About Amaris S

Currently leading investments at VU Venture Partners and advising Nexxus Capital, I bring a cross-disciplinary lens shaped by years of operating at the intersection of enterprise SaaS, digital health, and emerging markets. Previously, I held strategic leadership roles at Philips Healthcare, where I led global product development and market expansion across imaging and diagnostic technologies. I’ve also consulted on early-stage growth strategy for startups in aviation, consumer health, and ESG. I invest with a conviction-driven mindset, backing bold, mission-oriented founders who challenge the status quo. Whether it’s AI for diagnostics, blockchain for healthcare compliance, or new infrastructure for decentralized finance, I’m committed to helping visionary teams scale with purpose. Let’s connect if you\'re building something transformative, investing in deep tech, or driving the future of healthcare.
