From first prototype to cleared product.

Over twenty years I've taken cardiac, neurovascular and urology devices from first prototype to clearance — as an executive R&D leader, and now fractionally, for the startups that need that judgment without the full-time seat.

Cradle-to-grave device development.

I've held design and development roles across several regulated industries — chances are the avionics I designed years ago were on an aircraft you've flown recently. For the last two decades that work has been medical devices: cardiac ablation and stroke prevention at AtriCure, urology and continence at CR Bard, and neurovascular catheters and guidewires at Stryker Neurovascular — with 18+ FDA clearances behind me.

My background is in cradle-to-grave innovative product development and portfolio management — building and leading high-performance teams to deliver specialized devices. I'm well versed in project management, design controls, innovation, and ideation. It is my passion to take an idea and turn it into a product that positively affects patients' lives.

As a fractional CTO — and Chief Product Officer at MedHive.ai — I bring that same discipline to startups a stage or two behind their first clearance: the ones who need senior engineering judgment in the room, not another deck.

Three decades across MedTech and aerospace.
