My name is Inge Kormelink. I am Dutch by birth, European by vocation and Spanish by choice. I have been at the helm of Tambre, one of Europe’s leading reproductive medicine clinics, for over seven years.
But what defines me is not only this international management career, forged at companies such as Philips, Procter & Gamble and IVF Spain, but also leading a period of growth, internationalisation and constant transformation for the group, which continues to advance and evolve every day.

Leads the transformation of a pioneering clinic into an international reference in advanced reproductive medicine, driving its expansion, global positioning, and scientific excellence.
I didn’t end up in the healthcare sector by chance. I arrived with decades of accumulated experience, an academic background that has continued to grow — from Rotterdam to Yale, via Montpellier, Barcelona and the Netherlands — and the conviction that healthcare organisations can and must be managed with the same strategic rigour as any world-class company, without losing a single ounce of humanity in the process.
Since 2018 as CEO of the Tambre Group, and previously as Director of Strategy at IVF Spain from 2012, I have built a leading organisation in Europe in the field of reproductive medicine. I lead with the same rigour with which I learn: through methodology, data and with people always at the centre.
My philosophy is based on a clear premise: the best clinical outcomes stem from purpose-driven teams, protocols of excellence and a culture where the patient is always at the centre. Not as a slogan, but as the guiding principle behind every decision we make.
Before taking the helm at Tambre, I went through assisted reproduction as a patient. That experience allowed me to understand the process from a perspective very different to that of a professional and to gain first-hand insight into the doubts, expectations and emotions that can accompany it.
Today, it forms part of my leadership style: putting people at the centre, listening attentively and working to ensure that medical excellence is always accompanied by empathy, clarity and humanity.
It is an experience that continues to provide me with a particularly valuable perspective in a sector where every decision has a deeply personal impact.
To all those who believe in science when it goes hand in hand with humanity.
To those who trust, hope, ask questions and never give up.
