Dr. Schuehsler has been the deal leader on more than 35 direct investments in life science and healthcare companies in Europe, the U.S., the Middle East and India. In total he has raised more than US$1bn in committed capital from more than 50 international investors, has overseen more than 120 investments in the health market, and more than 50 IPOs and 30 M&A exit transactions in the portfolio.

Currently he is chairman of healthcare growth companies, Bourn Hall International (Dubai, Al Ain) and Manzil Health Care Services (Abu Dhabi, Dubai, NE, Riyadh, Cairo), a director at Cambridge Medical and Rehabilitation Center (Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, Dhahran) and Dayarn Pharmaceuticals (Dubai, Riyadh).

In 2007 and 2008, Dr. Schuehsler served as chairman of the European Private Equity and Venture Capital Association (EVCA, now “Invest Europe”).
