a Medical Device Engineer with a bachelor’s and master’s degree in medical engineering, started in the medical industry over a decade ago and spent his first five years gaining hands-on experience in the health sector before joining TÜV SÜD. Equipped with a subtly dry sense of humor, he is committed to bringing transformative medical technologies to EU and global markets by leveraging his in-depth expertise in regulatory frameworks and market dynamics.
At TÜV SÜD’s Medical & Health Services business unit, he now heads the Sales department for the DACH region and the Special Operations & Support department, specialising in active and non-active medical devices, implants, and IVDs. Over nearly eight years, Ralf Gansel has navigated the world of high-risk medical devices, audits, and certifications—progressing from product assessments to leading a global team.
