As a VP Product Management and Corporate Development executive, I am known for identifying and creating new products, business units and revenue streams to achieve consistent growth from start-up to launch. I have been a part of 12 mergers and acquisitions and launched more than 15 new healthcare and technology products that have generated more than a half billion dollars annually at their peak.As the Chief Operating Officer for an early stage company, Eyesafe, I am responsible for all operations including R&D, Product Marketing and Finance. I have established manufacturing partners, negotiated supply agreements, established strategic relationships and new business partnerships and established all business financial modeling. I also support the activities for raising financial investment.Previously as the General Manager and Dir of Corporate Development at Carestream Health, an optical film business for consumer electronics, I established the business model to gain a $75M investment, changed a legacy culture and launched and grew a global business.With a degree in engineering and classically trained in product marketing with GE Healthcare, I led strategic IT product integration of GE acquisitions of Micro Medical Systems, Marquette Electronics and Vingmed Ultrasound to establish CentricityTM Cardiovascular Information System (CVIS).I grew up in a small town in WI where we learned the value of hard work, humility, and honesty. This foundation was significantly developed professionally at GE Healthcare where “integrity” meant delivering on commitments, hard work (with results) was rewarded, and smart innovation was fostered.
