About
I have a passion for advancing novel technologies and developing markets through my experiences as an engineering, regulatory, and clinical leader. The opportunity to serve others and improve their quality of life has inspired me to continually push myself and challenge the status quo. I find unique, simple solutions to complex problems that have furthered technologies such as non-fusion scoliosis treatments, patient-matched orthopedic implants, enabling technologies, electromechanical systems, cervical disc replacements, and pediatric oncology solutions. By effectively communicating these strategies to the greater team and fostering a robust, curious culture driven by results, we have been able to make a tremendous impact on patients globally.
