With over 10 years of experience in mechanical engineering, product development, and business management, I have successfully brought our products to market and helped lower-limb amputees all over the world to get up and walking faster than anyone thought possible.I co-founded Amparo in 2014 and served as the CTO for 7.5 years, overseeing the entire product lifecycle from research to design to testing to regulatory affairs. In 2022, I transitioned to the CEO role, where I continue to drive innovation, growth, and social impact.
