Growing up by a picturesque lake at the foot of Swiss Alps isn't the worst way to come up. In fact, it's among the best. That's the word from Andreas Fleischli. And he would know. It’s how his life started, leading to studying electrical engineering before being part of the team that created HeartMate 3, our latest heart pump. Let's get to know him.
You'd describe your childhood as … typical Swiss. In a family of four — so mum, dad, my 4 years older brother and me. I grew up in a small Swiss town called Zug, well suited at a lake in the Swiss Alps. It was really balancing time with my family, friends, school and outdoor sports such as skiing, hiking and many more.
