    Some successes: Transitioning to commercial leadership roles and eventually heading up Global Sales & Marketing for the most profitable division.
    Driving value creation whether measured in operating income or EBITDA improvement.
    Being involved with two private equity-backed companies and driving revenue and EBITDA growth while executing successful exits to both strategic and financial buyers.
    Always maintaining a sense of curiosity and most recently building teams that executed on developing new intellectual property to dramatically improve patient care.
