About Ellen Wright

With 5.5 years of R&D project management in FDA-regulated products and over 4 years in Commercial Marketing and Upstream Strategy for healthcare and medical devices, I excel in leading projects from concept to market. My expertise includes product development, strategic marketing, and working with complex global markets. Passionate about advancing healthcare technologies, I aim to improve patient outcomes through innovation and collaboration.I thrive on connecting with people from diverse backgrounds and fostering inclusive environments. Outside of work, I enjoy getting \"off-grid\" in the outdoors, which keeps me energized. I am dedicated to improving gender equity by advocating for women\'s access to healthcare, striving to make a positive impact in the local Minnesota community.
