Portrait Dr. Sarah J. Becker

The digital transformation has an impact on us humans in the way we live and work. Companies can therefore no longer ask questions about digitalisation without also considering the issues of digital responsibility.

Dr Sarah J. Becker is the founder and Managing Partner of the Institute for Digital Transformation in Healthcare at the University of Witten/Herdecke, which has been committed to human-centred digitalisation of the healthcare sector since 2017.

During her academic career, Dr Becker studied economics and medicine and combined both fields in her interdisciplinary doctorate. During her doctorate, she conducted research as a scholarship holder of the German Study Foundation at Columbia University in New York City, among other places, and then founded klinik_anamnese, a digital recruiting platform for hospitals and young doctors.

She has worked for the Boston Consulting Group, for IBM in various international locations and for the United States Congress in Washington D.C. This gives her around 10 years of experience in the German and US healthcare industry as an entrepreneur, researcher and consultant.

Her intensive involvement with the consequences of digitalisation for individuals and society in the context of her management activities led to a focus on the topics of "Digital Ethics" & "Corporate Digital Responsibility".
