After a career in acute healthcare (i.e., 25+ years in ambulance services, dispatch centers, trauma helicopters, and Emergency Preparedness and Planning Offices), Lucien Engelen founded and acted as the director of the REshape Innovation Center of the Radboud University Medical Center and advisor to the Board of Directors (2007-2018), where he also gained extensive experience in the academic side of healthcare.
Next, he was the Global health(care) Innovation Strategist for the Center for the Edge Deloitte (Global role, Amsterdam, Melbourne, and San Francisco), and the Vodafone Group UK/Europe (both not employed nor commercial).
Lucien Engelen has been named the #1 influencer in the health tech scene, reaffirming his leadership in driving innovation at the intersection of healthcare and technology. In addition, he secured the #2 spot as a business influencer in the overall tech scene, trailing only the legendary Richard Branson. Engelen also ranks an impressive #4 in the prestigious overall Tyto Top 500, solidifying his reputation as a visionary voice in global tech and business transformation.
An extraordinary achievement that highlights his influence and dedication to shaping the future of healthcare!

As the CEO of Transform Health and a prominent health innovation strategist, Engelen has built a substantial following with over 750,000 followers on LinkedIn.

His advice focuses on initiating change and explaining what it takes. His decades of experience in local regions and (inter)national settings make him share relevant #howtos.
Thanks to his practical approach, he was able to identify necessary changes at an early stage and implement them in a sector bound by many rules.
The foregoing has put him at the forefront of healthcare innovation in Europe and beyond over the past three decades.
His presentations cover creating a sustainable culture for innovation and needed transformation, change management, the future of healthcare, the future of work, digitization, technology in health and care, and the retailization of healthcare.
His lectures are practical, stimulating, forward-looking, teasing, provoking, and spiced with a bit of humor and self-mockery.
