Petra Herrmann, Dr.

I call myself Science-to-Commercial Translator.
I bring the customer and commercial reality into strategic decision-making.

My expertise lies at the intersection of science, strategy, and business development. With a PhD in Microbiology, an MBA and 15+ years of cross-functional experience, I help leadership teams translate complex technologies into clear customer value and commercial priorities.

I challenge assumptions, sharpen strategic choices and help teams answer the questions that ultimately drive adoption: Who is the right customer? Why should they buy? Who actually makes the decision? And what evidence is needed to turn interest into revenue? (GTM)
I%27m working with Startups, Scaleups, and as industry expert for UnternehmerTUM.

In recent startup engagements, this approach has resulted in sharper market focus, more effective customer conversations and also into new paying customers shortly after the project.

I add the most value to Life Science, MedTech, Biotech, HealthCare and DeepTech companies transitioning from innovation to commercialization, market adoption and scale.
