Lori La Bey talks with Deanna Vigliotta the National Sales Manager for Seni, Dr. Laird the CMO of My Memory Clinic, and Jeff McSpadden the co-founder and CEO at Composure.
Deanna Vigliotta has an extensive 30-year healthcare sales and sales management background. She is the National Sales Manager of Seni, a premium brand of adult incontinence products.  She and her Seni teammates are on a quest to shift the mindset in the USA from adult incontinence products being viewed as disposable commodities to high-performing incontinence products being viewed as a critical component of the continuum of care.
Dr. Laird received her medical degree with honors from Georgetown University School of Medicine in 1991. She completed an Internal Medicine residency and Geriatric Fellowship. 
Dr. Laird is a recognized expert in the diagnosis and care of patients with Alzheimer’s disease and served for 25 years as a Medical Director for two state of Florida Memory Disorder Clinics (Health First and AdventHealth Maturing Minds).
Dr. Laird is the founder and Chief Medical Officer of My Memory Clinic, a telehealth memory specialty clinic. She is also a Principal Investigator at ClinCloud Research in Viera, Florida focusing on clinical trials for Alzheimer’s disease. She is a community faculty member of the Florida State University Department of Geriatrics.
Dr. Laird is a passionate advocate for the support of family caregivers and co-authored the book Take Your Oxygen First: Preserving Your Health and Happiness While Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s Disease.
Jeff McSpadden is co-founder and CEO at Composure, an evidence-based, digital audio company that delivers original soundscapes for senior living communities to improve sleep and drive healthy outcomes for
older adults living with dementia. As an entrepreneur, technologist, lifelong musician, and composer, Jeff has dedicated himself to sound as a vital ingredient to human thriving. Prior to launching Composure, Jeff’s 15-year career as a composer included writing and producing original music for film, television, and advertising with clients such as MGM, NBC, CBS, PBS, HBO, and AMC as well as brands ranging from Mercedes-Benz, Verizon, Progressive, Toshiba, and Ford.
Jeff’s career in music began in his hometown of Dallas, TX as a teenager playing trumpet in a range of idioms from jazz to classical to pop and world music. He moved to New York City to attend The New School for Social Research where he graduated with a Bachelor’s in the Performing Arts. Jeff continues to live in NYC where he and his wife are raising their two teenage sons.
