DClinPsy, patient advocate, ADHD immigrant left a C-suite to bootstrap health tech: ask & share

Neurolinguist by formative education, patient activist for the past 10 years across 4 countries, ex Head of PR & Marketing in tech (Semrush, Doctolib, Unlimint), converted Clinical psychologist, ACT Psychotherapist.

I also hate when people when people share their expert opinion about the things they don't understand and most degrees of superficiality. You can imagine how AI-generated everything makes me cry.

I've moved countries four times, built marketing functions at companies worth £10B. 5 years ago I moved to the UK, awarded a Chevening scholarship to polish my clinical transition (by night) with an Addictions MSc, and life got in the way, so I stayed and somehow ended up bootstrapping in privacy-first health data management 24/7 while also seeing my clients. No privacy-by-design trade-off, so no vibe-coded solutions and thus no easy gains.

Ask me anything: about changing careers at 25+, about useful support systems for ADHD founders, about coping with AI chaos and pressure being neurodivergent, about how to make healthcare systems work for you when they kept failing you, about self-advocacy, about building with chronic conditions, about leaving senior roles and stable high income to start over, about patient data and privacy — what others have tried on system and government level and why it failed, or about the chaos of doing all I'm doing at once.

This is also the place to share your wins & fails; stories that look inconsistent, hard to believe, or just plain messy. I see you :)
