Hanno Eckardt began his entrepreneurial journey at 15 and has spent the last seven years building and scaling products across multiple sectors, developing a strong foundation in automation, product design, and execution in complex, real-world environments. That builder’s background shaped a clear operating principle: high-performing teams should not be constrained by manual, repetitive work when modern software can remove friction and improve outcomes.

Over the last several years, Hanno has focused increasingly on healthcare and clinical research, driven by a conviction that the industry is overdue for workflow modernization. In clinical trials, he saw highly trained staff spending disproportionate time on administrative overhead such as manual data entry, fragmented system handoffs, and late-stage issue discovery, despite these challenges being largely solved in other industries through automation and better-designed operational systems.

At Qorra, Hanno’s mission is to redesign how trial data moves from source to EDC so it is faster, cleaner, and more auditable, without increasing burden on sites. He pairs technical fluency in AI-enabled automation with strong product and UX judgment to translate operational pain points into deployable workflows with measurable impact. Hanno has also built a strong network across the clinical trial ecosystem spanning sponsors, CROs, site organizations, and technology vendors, which helps ensure Qorra stays aligned with implementation realities and enterprise expectations.

He leads Qorra with a focus on speed, quality, and trust, building software that clinical teams can adopt quickly, operate confidently, and scale across studies.
