We partner with companies at every stage of development—from early concept and prototyping through verification, regulatory preparation, and global manufacturing scale-up.Our teams specialize in complex medical technologies across four key areas:• Surgical Energy• Fluid & Gas Management• Optical Systems• Stimulation & Wearable DevicesA big part of my role is engaging with the broader MedTech ecosystem—connecting with founders, investors, accelerators, and strategic partners to better understand emerging technologies and explore where Forj can help reduce development risk and accelerate time to market.I spend much of my time learning about new ideas, meeting innovators, and helping companies navigate the journey from concept to commercialization.If you’re developing a medical device and thinking about the path from idea to scalable manufacturing, I’m always happy to connect.Focus Areas:MedTech | CDMO Partnerships | Medical Device Development | Product Commercialization | Startup & Investor Ecosystems | Design for Manufacturing (DFM/DFX)Currently interested in connecting with:• Early-stage MedTech founders (Seed–Series B)• Investors supporting medical device innovation• Teams developing technologies in surgical energy, optical systems, fluid management, or neuro / wearable devices• Accelerators and innovation programs supporting MedTech startups
