Seattle, WA

Growing up on a sheep farm on an island in the Baltic Sea, I learned to 1) work hard, 2) use common sense, and 3) find creative solutions with few resources at hand. This has served me well as a business leader, consultant, operator, and strategic problem solver in entrepreneurial and growth B2B environments.

I’m a creative and empathetic leader with experience in general management, strategy, marketing, and business/partnership development, mainly in the MedTech and VR/simulation space. I believe in Mission, People, and Accountability. I'm very curious and enjoy learning new things. As a customer-focused strategic thinker, I'm passionate about helping B2B companies solve their business challenges in collaborative and creative ways.

At Surgical Science, I led day-to-day operations at a $50MM US subsidiary of an industry-leading medical simulation company. In my consulting practice, I advised an early-stage vascular robotics company based in South Korea. At Mimic Technologies, I conceptualized and brought to market the first robotic surgery skills simulator, the dV Trainer, and helped Intuitive Surgical ideate and develop the da Vinci Skills Simulator, now the worldwide standard training tool for robot-assisted surgery.
