Dr. Bescos brings long experience in research and management of large international teams in digital health and healthcare transformation, combining experience from public research institutions and the private sector. She joins EIT Health from Royal Philips, a leading health technology company and EIT Health core partner.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted to have Dr. Besc\u00f3s on board. She will lead EIT Health Spain in its mission to boost innovation in health, and to be a reference alliance in our country and in Europe,\u201d said Enrique G\u00f3mez, Chair of EIT Health Spain Governing Board and Professor at the Technical University of Madrid (UPM). \u201cWe are confident that Cristina will uphold the success of EIT Health Spain and drive our organisation forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cristina succeeds former EIT Health Spain Managing Director Dr. Marco Pugliese, who has stepped down after three years in the position. Pugliese joined EIT Health from the beginning and contributed to shaping and building EIT Health Spain from scratch. The former Managing Director leaves a strong legacy and a very active organisation, with Spanish partners leading many activities in EIT Health\u2019s three programme areas \u2013 Accelerator for business development, Campus for education and Innovation to support disruptive ideas. Dr. Pugliese\u2019s highly successful stewardship of EIT Health Spain included hosting the first EIT Health Summit in Barcelona in 2016.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are grateful for all his efforts in building EIT Health Spain and proud of his leadership and success,\u201d EIT Health Spain Board Chair G\u00f3mez said of Dr. Pugliese. \u201cWe wish him all the best in his new endeavours.\u201d<\/p>\n

Public and private experience<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr. Bescos holds a PhD in telecommunication engineering (with a biomedical specialisation) and has more than 15 years\u2019 experience in research and management of large international innovation projects in eHealth. She has worked in public research institutions \u2013 including addressing space innovation with the European Space Agency \u2013 and in the private sector, with Hewlett Packard, Telefonica I+D and Philips.

With professional experience in Switzerland, The Netherlands, Germany and Spain, she has held several representative positions at the European level in industrial bodies, standardisation committees, expert forums, and innovation projects in the area of healthy ageing and chronic care management.<\/p>\n
