About Cortes
I am a results-driven commercial leader with 20+ years of success in medical technology, patient monitoring, and connected care solutions, delivering growth across Fortune 500 companies including Medtronic, Philips, Masimo, Baxter, and Johnson & Johnson.My leadership journey began at UC Santa Barbara, where I earned my B.A. in Political Science and commissioned through Army ROTC. As a U.S. Army Captain, I led soldiers in Europe and Bosnia, building the resilience, discipline, and mission-focused leadership that still defines my career today.After earning my MBA in Marketing, I transitioned into healthcare sales and strategy, where I’ve led high-performing teams at regional, national, and global levels. From scaling multimillion-dollar consumables and monitoring businesses across the Western U.S. to driving global product strategy for Masimo’s core business, I’ve consistently grown revenue, developed top sales talent, and influenced enterprise-wide adoption of technologies that improve patient outcomes.I thrive at the intersection of sales leadership, commercial strategy, and clinical innovation. My passion is building teams that not only hit numbers but also transform workflows, reduce costs, and create lasting partnerships with health systems.Now, I’m focused on leveraging my experience in scaling sales organizations, national account strategy, and executive-level relationship building to drive enterprise growth as a Vice President of Sales or Commercial Leader in the healthcare technology space.
