CAMILO ANABALON

Design, entrepreneurship & Innovation Management

SUMMARY

As founder and manager of Babybe GmbH I drove a multitude of processes arising from the original
innovation and leading to a successful market introduction and the Acquisition of the company by a
major US based medical corporation (NATUS Medical, NTUS).
For the past 10 years I have been actively engaged in the Start-up Ecosystems of Germany, UK, China,
USA, and Chile doing Product and Market development, Funding and investor relationships, Customer
and strategic partnerships management and company building to address and overcome the
challenges of introducing innovation in the medical industry.
Today, acting as Senior product manager for New-born care at NATUS Medical, I lead the effort of
introducing the Babybe system to the US and Canada hospitals. And as Pro-bono mentor I couch
entrepreneurs in company strategy, product development, Funding, and business model generation.
