Muharrem in a few words
As an Interim Product Leader specialized in Digital Health and MedTech SaaS, I help companies accelerate the development and market entry of their digital solutions – securely, scalably, and in compliance with regulatory frameworks. Whether you're facing a critical product launch, a temporary leadership gap, or need to align cross-functional teams across R&D, Marketing, and Compliance: I’m here to deliver fast, tangible results.
My unique value lies in combining deep product management expertise with hands-on experience in regulated markets (e.g. MDR, FDA, FedRAMP). I’m fluent in HL7 FHIR and cloud architectures, and I understand what it takes to bring digital medical products from idea to international scale – both technically and commercially.
Recent projects include launching a cloud-based analytics platform for body composition analysis across Europe and the US, enabling HL7/FHIR interoperability for a medical SaaS solution, and driving the strategic rollout of a digital GLP-1 treatment module.
I don't just manage products – I create alignment, enable autonomy, and make complex projects executable. If you need someone who can deliver clarity in complexity, structure in uncertainty, and momentum in moments of stagnation: let’s talk.
