Strategische Führung auf Abruf

Strategische Führung auf Abruf | HelixTech Leadership & Compliance Strategische Führung auf Abruf Die Brücke zwischen GxP-Compliance und KI-Innovation. In der modernen Biotech-Landschaft reicht ein klassischer CTO oft nicht mehr aus. Sie benötigen eine Doppelkompetenz. Sie benötigen einen erfahrenen Architekten, der sich tiefgehend mit GxP- und HIPAA-Compliance auskennt – aber gleichzeitig einen Fractional CAIO (Chief AI Officer), der sicherstellt, dass Sie keine veraltete Software in einer KI-dominierten Welt bauen. Viele Startups scheitern an diesem Spagat: Sie bauen entweder sicher, aber veraltet – oder innovativ, aber unregulierbar. HelixTech löst dieses Dilemma durch integrierte strategische Führung. Der Mehrwert Keine Experimente auf Kosten d...

The Hostage Situation: Are You Trapped by Your Own Tech Team?

The Hostage Situation: Why You Need a Fractional CTO | HelixTech Leadership Strategy The Hostage Situation: Are You Trapped by Your Own Tech Team? You pay the invoices. You own the equity. But you don't call the shots. There is a dynamic killing more Biotech startups than bad science: "The Hostage Situation." It happens when a non-technical CEO depends on a technical team that demands resources but stops delivering value. You feel trapped. You can't fire them because they hold the keys to the code and the cloud. If they leave, the company dies. If they stay, the company bleeds. This power asymmetry creates a paralysis where the business strategy is held captive by technical opacity. You find yourself approving budgets you don't understand, fueled by the "Sunk Cost Fallacy"—...

Applying AI in Regulated Industries

Image
Navigating Compliance While Unlocking Innovation For over 15 years, the narrative in regulated industries like Pharma, Diagnostics, and Forensics has been the same: "Agile and compliance will never work together." or "The EU AI Act will kill innovation." I've spent two decades proving that wrong. From leading cloud-native COVID platforms processing 300k tests daily to championing "validation-as-code," I've learned that compliance isn't a blocker—it's an engineering challenge waiting to be solved. "Integrity Before Velocity: Real-world data never sleeps, and manual validation can't keep pace. The only way to survive is continuous retraining and auto-auditing." The Failure Mosaic: Why AI Fails in Pharma We've seen the headlines. Theranos failed because of opacity and false claims. Watson Oncology failed because impressive demos didn't match the me...

How is AI revolutionizing biotech, pharma, and healthcare? What does it take to actually scale in these high-stakes environments? In this interview, I sit down to share insider stories from my 20+ years in tech leadership, discussing the reality of building software where lives are on the line. Inside the Episode: ✅ Scaling Under Pressure:  How we scaled COVID testing from 100 to 300,000 per day using AI. ✅ Adoption Hurdles:  The biggest challenges of AI adoption in biotech & pharma (and how to overcome them). ✅ Future Outlook:  How AI is reshaping diagnostics, compliance, and digital health right now. It's a deep dive into the practical side of digital transformation—moving beyond the hype to what actually works in the lab and the clinic. – Gaitis Kasims CEO & CTO, HelixTech Work With Us

The Need for Speed: Why I Built HelixTech

Image
For the last 15 years, I haven't just been "working in IT." I’ve been in the trenches where software meets science, fixing broken processes and rescuing stalled projects. I have spent a decade and a half building, restructuring, and improving technical teams across the most demanding sectors in the world: Biotech Pharma Clinical Diagnostics Forensics "I've seen brilliant scientific ideas fail not because the science was wrong, but because the execution was slow. In this industry, speed isn't just a metric; it's survival." ⚡ The AI Advantage Since the emergence of Generative AI, I didn't wait for permission. I was at the forefront, spearheading AI usage in highly regulated environments while others were still debating compliance. We learned early on how to use AI to cut bloat and accelerate development without breaking GxP or HIPAA protocols. Turna...
