My career started as a Technical Specialist for cardiac rhythm management devices at Guidant in 1993. I continued as a sales rep and Regional Manager and learned all aspects of selling medical devices. In Brussels, the European headquarters, I became the Marketing Director for the Tachyarrhythmia business in a very interesting time, introducing several new generations of implantable defibrillators.
In 2000 I decided to do an MBA program and went to IMD in Lausanne, Switzerland. After graduating with honors I joined ev3 as an early employee and built their business in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. As of 2004 I was responsible for ev3’s Neuro business in Europe as their VP Europe. I left ev3 to build a consulting business helping US based medtechs to enter the European market. One of these customers was a small Neuro company named Sequent, which I joined as VP EMEA full-time.
Sequent was sold in 2016 to the Japanese Terumo Corporation for $380 Mill after a very detailed due diligence process I was part of. After working with Terumo for one year to integrate my team I left and restarted Initiomed.
We enjoy bringing new technologies to the European market. Our work includes all aspects of a successful market introduction and we cooperate with a wide network of specialists all over Europe.
