Danvers, Ma, Us

Consulted with several MedTech and Biotech companies, helping them to get their products developed and marketed. BMC specializes in the Diabetes Technology industry. I have a high level of expertise in Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs). Advised and mentored several early stage startup companies.By leveraging my 25 years of experience with Med-Device product developments, I add value to an organization by:* Performing systems engineering to streamline schedules and avoid complications down the road.* Right-sizing your process so that your development team can be focused and efficient while producing the documents that the FDA needs.* Managing outsourcing to be sure that you get exactly the system that you want.* Optimizing project management to keep product development on schedule and within budget

PKvitality is building a Diabetes SmartWatch that is designed to be minimally invasive and extremely low cost. As the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) for medical applications I am responsible for the development, testing and validation of the glucose sensor. In addition I am responsible for US clinical trials.

Medical Surface Inc provides a biocompatible coatings for implanted medical devices. These coatings are custom designed to match the specific needs of a customer and are applied using a plasma-polymerization technique. This allows the devices to effectively limit the foreign body response and extend the life of implanted sensors and materials. I provide business development services on a contract, part time basis.

DirectSens is an innovative start-up company with a new enzyme that is revolutionizing the Glucose Monitoring industry. The enzyme has several advantages over the current state of the art, thus enabling glucose monitors to be more accurate, have higher performance, have longer useful life and be usable inside the human body. DirectSens is a technology partner that provides both the enzyme and consulting to help ensure our customers are successful. We can give you a clear competitive advantage in either the CGM or BGM market.I provide business development services on a contract, part time basis.

Provide guidance and direction in product development, med-device process and regulatory affairs, during the R&D and pre-commercialization phases.

Iselin, Nj, Us

Responsible for all operational activities at the new Echo, including Research, Development, Clinical, Quality, Regulatory, Prototype Manufacturing and all personnel at the Massachusetts facility. I built the organization, prepared budgets, product roadmaps and development plans. I also worked with the CEO to raise capital. Echo's mission is to develop a non-invasive Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) that is able to reliably detect blood sugar through the skin. In addition to executive leadership, I designed a software interface to Echo's embedded technology that allows SmartPhone App developers to easily access the calculated CGM data for display. A next generation device was designed, prototyped, used in road-shows and demonstrated clinically.
