Dr. Eva-Maria Hempe

Executive Director Public Sector EMEA | NVIDIA

Executive leader in AI commercialisation and market creation across Healthcare, Life Sciences and Public Sector. At NVIDIA, I lead $x00M+ portfolios and build GTM strategies that have delivered 2.5x pipeline growth, shaped national AI agendas, and built scalable partner ecosystems across EMEA. I operate at the intersection of strategy and execution, translating complex technology into scalable business models and leading cross-functional teams to deliver measurable commercial outcomes. My focus areas: • Market creation: Building ecosystems that scale demand and supply for AI in healthcare and life sciences, and influencing national policy to unlock adoption. • GTM strategy: Designing partner-first models with global systems integrators, cloud providers, and OEMs to accelerate market penetration. • Strategic translation: Turning complex technology into business models that solve critical health and national challenges. Previously at VMware, I drove SaaS transformation and led a $500M segment to 88% annual growth. At Bain & Company, I delivered commercial transformation for global healthcare clients. A Gates Cambridge Scholar with a PhD in Engineering, I combine commercial rigour, systems thinking, and empathetic leadership. I’m energised by roles where strategy drives execution, and where commercial outcomes validate bold ideas. Outside work, I bring the discipline of a competitive rower and the perspective of a mountain guide, blending precision with resilience.
