ABOUT FRANJA LEMKE
I have a solid foundation in the healthcare industry, built on a strong academic background in biomedical engineering and industrial engineering. Over the past 25+ years with Philips, I have gained a unique end-to-end perspective across the healthcare value chain — from R&D and product management to global marketing and now procurement.My journey began in research and development, where I spent 9 years as a Verification & Validation Engineer, building a deep understanding of product quality, regulatory requirements, and clinical user needs. I then transitioned into product management for another 9 years, driving clinical parameter strategies and lifecycle management. This was followed by 9 years in global marketing and business development, where I shaped market strategies, led product launches, and worked closely with customers to deliver impactful healthcare solutions worldwide.Since September 2025, I am serving as Senior Program Manager Procurement, where I leverage my technical, clinical, and commercial background to build strong market partnerships, drive cost optimization, and ensure long-term value creation for patient monitoring solutions.What defines me is the ability to connect the dots between technology, customer needs, and business strategy — always with the goal of advancing innovation and improving patient care.
