I love pointing to the successes in #medtech. Usually startups and emerging companies are easy examples as they are relatively linear in their growth.
Today, would like to shine the light on a company that reinvented itself. Had heard about companies doing this in the past, this was the first time I knew the players involved.
Pulse Biosciences, Inc. shifted their focus from an aesthetic indication to #PFA or pulse field ablation. Seismic in nature.
Seems to be a combination of leadership, collaboration and sheer will that has brought them closer to success. To take this massive leap it took support from their board/investors (Bob Duggan) and the fortitude of their CEO at the time (Kevin Danahy) and the determination of the team (Darrin UeckerDavid DanitzPatty Perla, PHRWilliam KnapeJustin Lerman Mitch Levinson Mike SmithVincent Havart ) to bring them to this point.
510k clearance and now first case under their belt. Blue skies ahead.
Looking forward to watching Burke T. Barrett continue their momentum and take them to new heights. This has been a case study that should be read by any company looking to change direction.
Extraordinary effort.

Unconventional or a unicorn 🦄?!
This week I was reminded how important it is to own the narrative and tell your story well.
I've always shared my non-traditional unconventional path to sales leadership (clinical scientist to VP of Sales).
I had someone I respect challenge the story I was telling myself and others.
It's what made me a unicorn and was my superpower!
Why? My commercial launch started with me selling directly to pathologists because I knew pathology (Fun Fact: I have assisted in 100 autopsies and was on a journey to become a forensic pathologist).
I've influenced over $100M in revenue across LifeSciences, Oncology, Technology, and Professional Services over the past 15 years.
What story have you been sharing that might need tweaking?!

Edwards on M&A Spree with Another Big Move 🌟
Exciting times in the MedTech world! Edwards Lifesciences has acquired Genesis MedTech's transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) system aimed at treating severe aortic regurgitation. They've also invested $25 million to support Genesis' product and market development efforts.
This acquisition is part of Edwards' broader strategy, following their recent high-profile buys. Just last month, they spent $1.2 billion on JenaValve Technology and Endotronix and exercised a $300 million option to buy Innovalve Bio Medical. Amid concerns about TAVR volumes, Edwards is doubling down, reinforcing its competitive stance in the market.
For companies and executives in MedTech and HealthTech, this is a fascinating time. Seeing a major player like Edwards make such bold moves provides a unique perspective on market dynamics and opportunities. What do you think of their aggressive expansion? Drop your thoughts below 👇
