Marike Carstens, Senior Manager eSolutions, Sonova Group. Marike Carstens has headed the Product Manager team at Phonak eSolutions for two years.

Marike Carstens has worked on digital solutions in various industries for over 20 years. What is particularly exciting about the modern context is that digital solutions are conceived as part of the system with new hearing-aid functions and not as stand-alone solutions.
