Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarcus Klarqvist is an interim CTO and founder with 11 years of experience building regulated, AI-driven products at the intersection of healthcare and infrastructure. He currently leads hardware, embedded software, and ML/AI for a venture-backed medtech company commercializing a medical-grade 3-lead ECG monitor and a 10M+ ECG-trained AI pipeline used in NHS trials and regulatory submissions. As founder of boutique consultancy Vintergatan Ventures and prior startups, he has repeatedly taken 0-to-1 products and AI systems to market, scaling teams and productionizing models for edge and cloud (WebGPU, CoreML) while navigating HIPAA, GDPR, FDA SaMD, and ISO standards. His research pedigree (PhD from Cambridge with collaborations at Harvard/MIT and the Broad Institute) underpins a track record of high-performance systems engineering—from SIMD-optimized genomics pipelines to multi-tenant clinical platforms with legally binding reporting workflows. Notably, he combines hands-on low-level engineering with executive strategy, having built browser-native ML products and deployed clinical-grade models across 100M+ clinical notes and 500K diagnostic images. Based in Dubai, he blends deep academic rigor with startup execution, often stepping into delivery-critical roles to unblock product milestones.
