As the Spine Manager at Sawtooth Surgical, I lead and support the sales and marketing activities of the company's innovative spine products and technologies in the Idaho, Oregon and Nor-Cal markets. I have over 25 years of experience in the medical device industry, with a focus on orthopedics, neurosurgery, spine and biologics. Before joining Steelhead (now Sawtooth) Surgical in November 2023, I was a District Sales Manager at Medtronic Spine & Biologics for over 12 years, where I achieved consistent sales growth, customer retention, and market penetration. I also served as a New Technology Consultant, providing technical and clinical guidance to surgeons and sales representatives on the latest advancements in the field. I have a strong background in biomechanical research and product development, and I have successfully launched multiple new technologies and products in the market. I am passionate about delivering innovative solutions that improve the lives of patients and enhance the outcomes of surgeons. I value collaboration, integrity, and excellence, and I bring creative perspectives and experiences to my team. I am always looking for new opportunities to learn, grow, and contribute to the advancement of the field of orthopedics.
