Sona: You joined Merantix just a couple of weeks ago. So first of all: welcome! Have you already settled in or are you still feeling a little bit lost in the moving-in process?
Sona: I’ve actually moved around quite a few times, this is probably now the seventh or maybe eighth city that I’ve moved to. But contrary to most of these other experience, I’ve been to Berlin maybe 10 or 15 times before. So I actually knew quite a few people already and honestly it’s been the easiest transition that I’ve ever had moving to a new city.
Finn: You have a background in healthcare. How did you end up at Merantix?
Sona: I launched my career in healthcare by working with Takeda pharmaceuticals, which is a large Japanese pharmaceutical company. The branch I was working with quickly developed into an incubation and venture investment arm and there I founded Oshi Health - a monitoring platform for patients with gastrointestinal conditions. But after we had closed an additional founding round, I felt is was a good milestone to take a step back and figure out where I wanted to go next. And that’s how I got in touch with Rasmus.
Finn: Did you know him or how were you introduced?
Sona: I had heard of Merantix before and, coming from the US, I was fairly familiar with the venture studio set-up. So, in the end, I just reached out to Rasmus directly on LinkedIN and we started to chat. I was truly impressed by the level of talent expertise that Merantix had managed to amass, especially on the engineering side it is incredibly top tier. And everyone I talked to spoke with a level of passion and intelligence that drew me to the company.
