About

I build MedTech products by starting where they're used — in the operating room. For the past few years in surgical navigation, I've worked at the core of the product cycle: running user acceptance testing, collaborating with R&D to turn clinical needs into product requirements, and validating systems against the real workflows they have to survive. On our surgical navigation platform, I owned UAT and fed structured surgeon feedback directly into the product. I've led integration work across multiple other medical devices, coordinating between engineering and end users to get complex hardware and software working as one. What sets my product judgment apart is proximity to the customer. Across 100+ surgical cases spanning cranial, spine, and ENT procedures, I've seen firsthand not just what a product should do, but why a surgeon trusts it or walks away from it. That insight lets me spot usability gaps early, prioritize what matters clinically, and translate ambiguous field signals into clear product direction — the raw material of a well-reasoned roadmap. That same customer proximity extends to how products win commercially. I understand how buying decisions get made inside hospitals, what moves an account from interest to adoption, and how to build the positioning and go-to-market strategy that connects a product's clinical value to the people who purchase it — including large hospital chains. I'm now focused on product roles in MedTech — owning roadmap, requirements, and go-to-market for the next generation of surgical technology. I bring deep domain expertise, a validated instinct for voice-of-customer, and the ability to move fluidly between engineering, clinical, and commercial teams.
