MEDICAL DEVICE CEO · COO · PRESIDENT

I help medical device companies get funded, get built and get sold.

Four CEO roles. Two company sales. If your board needs someone who's done this before, not someone learning on the job, let's talk about your next move.

ABOUT

You've probably seen this before: real technology, real potential, and a leadership team that's still learning what a PMA trial actually costs. Boards bring me in when they need someone who's already done it, more than once.

Currently an Executive in Residence at Princeton University's Office of Technology Licensing and New Ventures, and a respected medical device development expert witness in U.S. court.
