Working for an amazing man, Dr, Bas Nair, a triple board certified physician, inventor and entrepreneur, If fact, he is so innovative that he recently decided that assistance was needed with the multiple companies and new products under his helm. A hybrid position, my task is to build and grow several of these companies with a focus on marketing, improving revenue and executing business development plans. Because Dr. Nair's creative mind works both on ideas in the medical field and other industries, the companies and products are diverse ranging from a distribution company for a world class laser inch-loss and body contouring device to a patent-driven flag flying technology that is incredible. Wish me luck!
