Who are we.
coming from two discreet professions with nearly 50 collective years of diverse MedTech experience, we’ve spent the last 10 years working together, continuously navigating the multitude of challenges faced in MedTech, balancing that tension between commercial drivers and practicalities of product and technology development
successfully initiating and delivering on a broad spectrum of projects with multidisciplinary teams, we’ve recognised our skills and perspectives are both very complementary and highly aligned
these experiences have shaped our understanding and provided hard-fought insights that have ignited a shared passion to now do this for our own technologies and more recently with others
