Medical Device & Healthcare Consulting
From operating rooms to boardrooms — consulting at the intersection of science, leadership, and human presence.
ContactI bring deep expertise at the intersection of science, clinical practice, regulation, and business strategy. My consulting work bridges technology and patient care — matching innovations to the right clinical use and guiding them from early-stage development through regulatory approval and global adoption.
With experience ranging from small startups to the world’s largest device companies, I’ve successfully designed and executed first-in-human trials, FDA submissions, and strategic growth initiatives. My track record includes collaborations with leading firms such as Medtronic, Cormatrix, LLA Technologies, KLS Medical, Abyrx, Huyabio, Elutia, MicroVascular Tissues, and e-Force.
As a surgeon-scientist and academic leader, I’ve trained and worked at the University of Toronto, Northwestern, and Harvard, directed research ecosystems, raised over $12M in philanthropic funding, and built networks that connect innovators with physicians, scientists, and industry leaders worldwide.
