"Turning bold ideas into breakthroughs"
About Me
My journey from academia to startups and innovation ecosystems,
driven by the belief that science with soul can drive real change.
"Innovation isn't just about creating something new—it's about creating something that makes a meaningful difference in people's lives."
From Research to Real Impact
I'm Eva, a biomedical engineer from Larnaka, Cyprus, trained in electrical engineering (University of Cyprus) and biomedical signal processing (Technical University of Denmark). My research years took me across Europe, through neurotechnology, wearable biosensors and AI-powered diagnostics, where I learned that the hardest problems in health innovation aren't in the lab. They're in the gap between the lab and the world.
So I crossed it. I led the commercialization of a research lab into a digital health spinout, being part of an award-winning longevity-care swiss startup, and then I moved into coaching early-stage teams across accelerator programs in Cyprus, Greece and beyond helping researchers and founders turn breakthroughs into ventures that reach the people who need them most.
My mission is simple to state and demanding to deliver: to help people see what they cannot yet see. When there is only an idea, I give it shape and direction. When the story is there, I make it investable. And in every case, I work to surface the true value of what someone is building and chart the path that carries it into the world.
Have an idea
you can't quite see yet?
Whether it's a rough concept or a pitch that's almost there,
one honest conversation can change its direction.
