About MedTech Key
The Story
With over 25 years of experience in medtech, I have created value through organic and external profitable growth.
As a transformational leader, my expertise encompasses all aspects of corporate leadership and business operations management, across all continents. I started my career as a software engineer and held leadership positions in general management, sales, marketing, M&A, logistics, customer operations, R&D and IT with IDEXX, HillRom and Cardinal Health.
I have successfully developed medical devices businesses on all continents, thanks to my diverse cultural and functional background. I have established and led large direct and indirect sales organizations in multiple countries, successfully led the development and launch of key product lines across continents. I had the opportunity to lead multiple acquisitions and integrations in multiple medtech segments (Capital Equipment, Surgical Implants, Medical Consumables and Hospital Services).
I now focus on helping investors (Private Equity funds or strategic buyers) identify, execute, and operate medtech acquisitions globally.
