Pflegix expands its management team

Healthtech is getting a new Managing Director in Thomas Wötzel. He will share the management with the two founders Andreas Helget and Tim Kahrmann.

Thomas Wötzel already joined the start-up Pflegix as a partner in 2018. He will now take over product development and be responsible for case and care management activities.

"When I invested in Pflegix in 2018, I already saw the enormous potential that the Pflegix platform could offer carers," explains Wötzel. The investor himself has over 30 years of professional experience in the healthcare sector. Wötzel would like Pflegix to also offer regional care services a platform in the future to coordinate care options simply and clearly.

Founded in Witten in 2016, the company offers a platform to bring people with care needs and corresponding providers together across Germany. More than 19,000 everyday helpers and care professionals are already active in the Pflegix network. The aim is to support family caregivers and relieve the burden on care structures.

Andrea Fiorani, Group Head Personal Lines at Europ Assistance, which has been involved in Pflegix since 2019, is delighted to have Wötzel's support on the management board. "In this way, we are putting the company's expertise in the areas of healthcare and technology on an even broader and more stable footing."
