Description

Thinking about a career in the medical device industry? Whether you're an engineer, scientist, MBA, marketer, or somewhere in between, the medical device industry has a place for you. But breaking in can feel confusing. Which companies should you target? What roles actually exist beyond R&D? What does compensation look like? And how do you stand out when you don't have industry experience yet? I've been on both sides of the hiring table. I spent 15+ years at Medtronic across its spinal surgery and diabetes-related businesses, where I designed medical devices, earned five U.S. patents, and hired and managed engineers. One of the medical devices I worked on was recognized by TIME Magazine as one of the Best Inventions of 2015. I landed my first job at Medtronic straight out of college, so I know what it takes to get in the door. I hold dual degrees in Biomedical Engineering and Materials Science from Carnegie Mellon and an MBA from UCLA Anderson, and I'm connected with engineers and leaders across the medtech industry. My coaching style is warm, real, and action-oriented. I'll give you an honest insider's view of the industry and practical next steps you can act on right away. > MEDTECH CAREER DISCOVERY SESSION (1 session, 60 minutes) This session is yours to shape.
