We got to know each other in Bonn, built up a professional purchasing department together and have now written intensively on this book! It was not always as harmonious as it looks on the pictures 😉 But now we are happy that we made it.
Dr. Kerstin Stachel
I have been self-employed since November 2023. From 2015 to Nov 2023, I was Commercial Director of Magdeburg University Hospital and a member of the Executive Board. From 2008-2015 at the University Hospital Bonn in various management positions. I started as Head of Purchasing and Logistics, and later also took over as Head of Human Resources. As deputy spokesperson and then chairwoman of the EK-UNICO purchasing association, I was able to accompany the transformation from a rather loose network of 14 university hospitals to a professional purchasing association with a turnover of 1.4 billion.
