For the 3rd and final part of this mini-series, I was honored to be joined by Mr. Tim Harrah, the Vice President of R&D at Cynosure.

Tim is no stranger to formal education having earned a BS degree from John Hopkins in Chemical Engineering and a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Tufts University.

Tim worked for many years, approximately 13, at Boston Scientific rising up through the ranks from Scientist to Manager of R&D, and then Director of R&D.

For those unfamiliar with Cynosure, it is an innovator and developer of energy-based aesthetic and medical treatment systems. Cynosure develops and manufactures a diverse range of leading treatment applications for hair removal, skin revitalization, gynecological health, scar reduction, body contouring and so much more.

In similar fashion to our episodes with Patrick Stephens & Brad Carlson at Shockwave Medical and Livanova respectively, here are some of the highlights of what Tim & I discussed:

-Why did you get into Med-Tech in the first place?

-What was your childhood/early years like? What held your interest?

-Looking over the course of your career to date, what are some of the pivotal moments that you think really helped you move up in the leadership ranks to get to where you are today?

-What do you enjoy most about leadership?

-How do you spot top performers? What do you look for?

Is there a theme you can point to?

- What career/life advice would you give to someone who is driven to become an R&D Exec like yourself

...and much more!
