While developing software in the healthcare sector has become more challenging due to increased regulatory demands, this shouldn’t hold back enterprises from creating exceptional software products.

A little about Alexandra
Alexandra began her career in consumer electronics, but ever since she managed her first medical software product, she realised that making a positive impact on people’s lives was what she wanted to keep doing.

Alexandra excels in coaching agile teams, helping them understand the purpose behind their actions.
