Ivan Gammel: Scaling Digital Health Startup to Hypergrowth (former CTO at DrSmile)

At DrSmile, Ivan Gammel played a crucial role in driving the company's growth from its early stages to over 500 employees and 200 branches across Europe. This success ultimately led to the acquisition of DrSmile by the Straumann Group, where he served as Chief Technology Officer (CTO). Unlike many healthtech startups, DrSmile operated outside the insurance system. However, the company still faced challenges such as vendor gatekeeping, outdated integration standards, and ambiguous compliance frameworks.
