On Oct. 6, 2025 AtaCor Medical, a medical device company focused on transforming cardiac rhythm management systems, announced today that it has entered into a financing of up to $75 million. The proceeds will fund the company's U.S. FDA Pivotal Study evaluating AtaCor's parasternal extravascular implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (EV-ICD) system for the treatment of life-threatening ventricular tachyarrhythmias.
With over 25 years in the MedTech arena, including pivotal roles at Guidant and Cameron Health and Boston Scientific, Rick spearheaded groundbreaking algorithm development for pacing and defibrillation and amassed more than 90 patents and counting, Rick holds a BSc in Electrical Engineering from the University of Washington and an MBA from Oxford
