Belma Alispahic

One of the first European commercial hires for a cloud-native AI platform serving biopharma manufacturing. Built the European go-to-market from zero: target segments, buyer personas and territory strategy across pharma and CDMO accounts. Advanced enterprise opportunities through multi-stakeholder buying groups spanning science, IT and procurement. Built an event-led pipeline around industry conferences and a regional practitioner community, with outreach adapted to GDPR and UWG.

Co-founded an AI bioprocess company and owned science, product and the commercial function. Led SimCell, an AI model that simulates cells, from concept to a validated simulator for upstream process development, cutting wet-lab experiments in scale-up and tech transfer. Led projects with enterprise biopharma clients and our role in LIBRA, a Horizon Europe consortium of ten partners developing a new biomanufacturing sensor. Built go-to-market, positioning and brand, and spoke at international conferences.
