b.telligent Makes Targeted Investment in “Healthcare & Pharma” – And Brings Dr. Silvia Paddock on Board as a Top Expert

7.5.2026

Munich, May 7, 2026 – Effective immediately, the renowned data consultancy b.telligent is placing a strategic focus on the “Healthcare & Pharma” sector. As of May 1, industry expert Dr. Silvia Paddock has joined the company. Together with her, b.telligent will further drive the development of modern health data platforms for large hospital groups in collaboration with partners. With this move, the consultancy is responding to new framework conditions such as the European Health Data Space (EHDS), which are opening the door to contemporary data use in healthcare. This will make it possible to transfer proven best practices and robust security know-how from other highly regulated markets such as finance and insurance into the sensitive healthcare sector.

Answering Pressing Data Questions in Healthcare

The demand for data-driven solutions in the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors is huge, but key insights are often missing: Where are the patients for specialized treatments, what is the value of a therapy, and what budget impact does its introduction have? Many data points do not exist at all, are only available in analog form, or are locked away in isolated silos. As a result, healthcare organizations often have to plan based on worst-case scenarios. This is where b.telligent comes in: with secure, hybrid data platforms for on-premises and cloud environments, the consultancy makes health data usable—compliant with data protection regulations, sovereign, and prepared for requirements such as the EHDS.

Connecting Health Data Securely and Sustainably

Silvia Paddock, who has been working as Industry Practice Lead Healthcare & Pharma at b.telligent since May 2026, explains: “Building resilient, hybrid data platforms in healthcare is not just a data or IT project—it’s the foundation for better patient care. I’m very much looking forward to working on exciting healthcare projects at b.telligent.” She adds: “From my perspective, b.telligent’s proven cloud and infrastructure expertise is the perfect foundation to connect health data securely and in a way that creates real value, and to sustainably transform this highly sensitive sector.”

“With Silvia, we’ve secured our ideal candidate for the Healthcare & Pharma practice,” says Kai Kalchthaler, Managing Director at b.telligent. “Silvia has known the data and healthcare business inside out for 30 years. Her profound expertise, combined with our platform know-how, provides pharmaceutical companies and hospitals with exactly the technological data foundation and data sovereignty they need for their highly specialized day-to-day operations and complex budget planning.”

Extensive Consulting Expertise for State-Of-The-Art Data Use

Before joining b.telligent, Silvia Paddock played a key role in shaping the data-driven future of the healthcare industry in leadership positions at renowned consulting firms such as EY-Parthenon and PwC. With experience in international top-level research and more than a decade of strategic consulting expertise in big data and life sciences, she brings exactly the experience and capabilities needed to future-proof complex healthcare systems.

Masterclass “Fit-For-Purpose AI in Healthcare & Pharma: Build Less, Achieve More Impact” at World of Data

Silvia Paddock will also share her deep expertise in person at “World of Data”, the data event hosted by b.telligent. As part of this renowned event, she will hold a masterclass on June 11, 2026, titled “Fit-for-Purpose AI in Healthcare & Pharma: Build less, achieve more impact”, aimed specifically at decision-makers and subject-matter experts from the healthcare sector. For journalists and specialist audiences, World of Data offers the opportunity to experience Silvia and her practice-oriented approach to using health data live. They can gain first-hand insights into current developments at the interface of AI, data platforms, and care delivery.

With the build-out of its Healthcare practice, b.telligent is positioning itself as an ideal technology partner for hospitals, health insurers, pharmaceutical companies, and health IT providers—bridging the gap between complex regulatory requirements and cutting-edge cloud architecture.
