Encision is a medical technology firm focused on the minimally invasive surgery market. I directed a regional sales team selling advanced electrosurgical and laparoscopic surgical devices to hospitals and surgery centers. I hired, trained, and mentored a team of up to 24 direct reports and independent sales representatives. In addition, I helped develop and implement national and regional business strategies as a member of the Executive Management team.

GSI produced and sold balloon-dissection devices used in minimally invasive surgery. I coordinated business development activities across a 5-state region, managing sales of GSI's laparoscopic hernia repair and endoscopic vein harvesting devices through a team of 12 independent sales representatives. In addition to sales management responsibilities, I also developed and coordinated surgical training courses with internationally respected surgeons.

Everest developed, produced, and sold bipolar laparoscopic instrumentation. I managed an 11-state region in the Southeast working with independent sales representatives and organizations.

Applied Medical developed and produced innovative products used in vascular, urological, and minimally invasive surgery. In my time at Applied Medical I managed a sales team of direct sales representatives in the Southeast while at the same time was the national sales trainer responsible for training new hires and conducting advanced training classes for the existing sales team. In the last year at Applied, I was the National Sales Manager of the newly formed Laparoscopic Division, responsible for putting together a team of direct and independent sales professionals to sell minimally invasive surgical devices.
