Introduced 12 medical devices to market (national and global) in one capacity or another, started two companies, consulted on med dev, published in medical literature 125 times, editor for medical journal, 4 patents, written textbook used in Canada, US and Saudi Arabia. I was invited to join this venture to commercialize it four years ago and we are ready to do just that.
