The flat hierarchy creates a pleasant work environment, where committed staff members are able to pursue their creative and individual style of work.
"The team members attend to patients with warmth and empathy. I think that’s simply marvelous."
Could you describe a typical day at work?
I have no such thing as a typical day at work. Each new day brings a great deal of new aspects and everything is changing rapidly. I can prove my flexibility in these circumstances. We try to implement structures with the aid of digital tools.
What, in your opinion, is the factor that motivates the staff members at AOP Health?
Our greatest motivation is based on the corporate purpose of AOP Health, which is to help people with rare diseases and in critical care. The team members attend to patients with warmth and empathy, which I deeply appreciate. Improving the lives of these patients is the principal motivating factor for all staff members.

We have a friendly work environment where respectful interaction between individuals is paramount. We also like to arrange after-work activities among colleagues.
"We approach many things “spontaneously” in the positive sense of the term – that’s possible only because of the dynamic environment at AOP Health."
What do you appreciate most in your daily interactions?
Generally we have interdisciplinary exchange between all departments, including the executive level. Something very unusual in a pharmaceutical enterprise is that we work in flat hierarchies – the doors always remain open for one and all.
"Our studies are more complex than for example diabetes or vaccine studies, since we ought to seek patients with rare diseases. Thus, the collaboration with doctors and specialized hospitals is of utmost importance."
