About

20+ years in MedTech. 30+ brands launched across devices, pharma, diagnostics, and digital therapeutics. I’ve built revenue from zero, integrated acquisitions, and scaled teams — from one-person startup to global enterprise. Big budgets and no budgets. The playbook changes; the growth principles don’t. Today I’m CEO of NightWare, an FDA-cleared digital therapeutic for PTSD-related nightmares. I wrote the book on early-stage MedTech commercialization — literally (The Ten MedTech Commandments). I work with founders and investors navigating launch strategy, fundraising, positioning, and the hundred decisions that determine whether a good product actually reaches patients. Always open to connecting. Reach out.
