People
Christian Wagner
Founder & Managing Director, Senior Consultant
Product & Portfolio Strategy
Product Due Diligenc
CENTRAL EU Ambassador
I quickly realised I'd better let others develop Software. My strengths were obviously on the customer and business side. Without planning it, I became a product manager (in digital health). A role and a place where I felt I can make the impact I always wanted - Identify what really matters - engage and motivate teams to create solutions that are truly meaningful and achieve something that nobody else has managed before - most importantly, if you want to keep creating you'd better understand the entire business, wing 2 wing, while you stay super close to your customer and teams.
​
Born in a startup, grown up in a scale up and strengthened by a global fortune 500 I have created digital health solutions and managed digital health portfolios - globally and quite successfully but not without mistakes (learnings I am happy to share)! I am evangelist for empowered product teams that constantly strive for the ultimate flow in creating value for their customers.
​​
My passion for bringing digital solutions to life and leading companies to success was the trigger for founding Spark Digital Health.
