10 year journey Portfolio company Thirona (NL)

March 11, 2025 - Antwerp (BE)

Ten years ago, Eva van Rikxoort (CEO Thirona) set out to transform respiratory care with AI-powered lung image analysis. Thirona is now leading the way in transforming personalized treatment for pulmonary diseases.

Katleen Vandersmissen (Managing Partner HERAN) reflects on Thirona’s extraordinary journey. She talks about the challenges of running a company as a female founder and Eva van Rikxoort's (CEO Thirona) personal and collaborative leadership style that fosters a culture of authenticity, collaboration, and impact-driven innovation.

Eva brings a lot of authenticity into her CEO-ship, which is not easy in a male-dominated world. I think she does it with a lot of grace and elegance, also bringing forward the people on her team, not always taking the spotlight for her own.
