Career history
In the news
- I've been to enough industry conferences to know this scenario by heart. Someone stops at your booth, looks at the equipment, glances at a banner... You try to start a conversation, but they often walk away with a brochure. Not necessarily because they're not interested. Explaining complex equipment in just a few minutes is difficult. And understanding how it fits into a complete process from a brochure is even harder. Especially at large conferences, where everyone is competing for attention and, let's face it, many booths start to
- You may have noticed that I am a little obsessed with transforming customer journeys. And I've always believed that technology should make interactions more meaningful, not simply more impressive. Trade shows are a perfect example. Visitors typically spend very little time looking at a piece of equipment. Just enough for a quick explanation before moving on. What if you could take them inside an entire biopharma facility and explore processes and technologies together? That's exactly what we've been doing with Sartorius | Bioprocess
- What if you could show more equipment, explain what’s happening inside it, or demonstrate an entire end-to-end process, without bringing it all to the trade show? This is exactly what we’ve been exploring with Sartorius and HakoBio. And this time, we wanted to go beyond the “wow effect” and actually measure the impact. 👉 9 min 30 sec average guided experience 👉 2.5 guests per tour 👉 37% progressing to deeper technical or commercial discussions A big thank you to Charles Meadows and the Sartorius marketing team for helping us
- Love seeing this! 🥽 This is exactly why I believe so much in immersive technologies. Not just to show something cool, but to help people understand, experience and project themselves into a real bioprocessing environment. Even better when it helps the next generation discover our industry! Very proud to see HakoBio used by the Sartorius team in this way, and for such a great initiative with Dream Opportunity at BPI. Great job Charles Meadows, Dan Stanton and Sartorius | Bioprocess Solutions team From learning to experiencing,
- Always better to experience it than to explain it! 🥽 Great to be at BPI alongside our friends at DataHow,bringing digital twins and process intelligence together. And most importantly: great conversations, real human interactions and new connections. That’s what these events are all about. Come say hi and experience HakoBio for yourself!
- I am excited to attend the flagship BioProcess International US 2026 Conference & Exhibition, held September 22-25, 2026 in Boston. BPI is more than just a conference – it’s where 3000+ of biopharma’s brightest minds come together to discuss the future of biologics. Whether you’re working in early-stage process development or commercial-scale manufacturing, this is the one event on the calendar where industry scientists go to access practical strategies to improve quality, shorten timelines, and increase yield for novel biologics.
- September is going to be a busy one! I’ll be on the road with HakoBio — 🇩🇪 Göttingen for the Sartorius PI Forum, followed by 🇺🇸 Boston for BioProcess International And the journey continues in 🇮🇹 Milan for CPHI, where the HakoBio from OUAT! team will be. If you’re in Göttingen or Boston, let’s connect! Always happy to meet, exchange ideas and show what we’ve been building. See you on the road!
- What if your clients could walk your facility before they ever book a flight? For many CDMOs, the hurdle isn’t proving manufacturing excellence, it’s making it click. Slide decks, videos, and CAD drawings help, but they rarely capture the full story. OUAT! new white paper shows how XR and immersive digital twins let partners explore your processes in context and see what truly sets you apart. Making the complex clear is the ultimate goal. Want a live demo? I’ll set it up for you. If it looks useful, let’s meet in person!
