About Nick Rafkind
A proven leader with a history of consistently driving significant revenue growth at major media companies like 21st Century Fox. He has successfully scaled multiple XR companies, leading to strategic acquisitions by industry giants like Snapchat. Nick\'s expertise in hyper-growth and innovation led to the acquisition of his previous company, VRenetic, and now is dedicating that focus to a new mission at IRIS XR.This mission is fueled by a deeply personal story. Nick’s brother’s lifelong battle with chronic pain and opioid use following multiple complications from a medical device procedure showed him critical flaws in healthcare. It\'s why he is now committed to transforming medical device sterilization and ensuring a safer future for patients everywhere.
