Over the past 24+ years in the industry, I have succeeded in a variety of roles including sales, marketing, training and clinical/product support. I have had the privilege of assuming increased responsibility including Regional and National Sales Management, Operations and Marketing leadership, and more recently as President and General Manager of two startup companies. I have extensive experience in developing Strategic Vision and Organizational Structure for new and existing companies, with a focus on commercial execution. I have a demonstrated the ability to recruit high-caliber sales teams across many product segments, influenced product development and successfully launched new, disruptive technologies to clinicians. Additional experience includes National Account and KOL development; business development and licensing (BD & L) including several successful acquisitions; post-acquisition integration planning and execution.My long-term goal is to continue to leverage these past experiences to bring leadership, vision and execution to meaningful commercial efforts, with the goal of improving patient care and driving sustainable revenue growth for investors.
