I advise CEOs, investors, and executive teams in MedTech, Digital Health, Wearables, and regulated HealthTech - from early stage to Fortune 50 - providing strategic clarity and actionable roadmaps. My 20+ years of experience includes developing strategies and product roadmaps in multi-billion-dollar markets, aligning long-term vision with optimal product pipelines, accelerating U.S. market entry, evaluating investment opportunities, and driving growth through strategic partnerships and M&A.
Representative work:

• Neurotech Wearable: Developed GTM strategy; structured strategic partnerships and clinician advisory board for early market adoption.
• Major-4 Medical Device Company: Led connectivity strategy for the SCS neuromodulation with the ability to reduce overhead by 50%; built robust product pipeline, initiated multiple innovative product developments.
• Public Bioelectronic Medicine Company: Evaluated potential acquisition target, focusing on market fit and integration.
• Orthopedic Company: Relaunched bone fixation product line & developed new sales strategy, significantly improving market traction.
• Major Pharma Company: Worked on M&A due diligence for a significant dermatology acquisition focusing on strategic analysis, evaluation of market presence, and integrating synergistic enhancements into a robust pro forma.
• Fortune 50 Company: Evaluated new acquisition for additional GTM pathways, eventually making two recommendations to the Stage Gate committee - both approved for further development.
Core focus areas:
✔️ CEO & Board Advisory
✔️ Product & Portfolio Strategy
✔️ Commercialization & Market Entry
✔️ Investment & M&A Diligence
✔️ Interim Executive Roles
