What do you enjoy the most about being part of the Verathon team?
We have wonderful products that serve an incredible group of clinicians. Our long legacy of product development and strong values alignment across the entire company is what drives our great results. Verathon has also proven to be a great place for me to stretch and grow! Every day presents new challenges, and we have the right people to support solving them.
What are you most excited about for Verathon’s future?
We are a growth company and continuous improvement is core to who we are. This results in Verathon being a pioneer in changing the way we treat patients and being a leader in the transformation to single-use bronchoscopes and video laryngoscopes. We have an outstanding vision for the future, and work daily to see it come to life. Additionally, as we continue to grow as a company, we have some amazing opportunities to become an even more global company, which will certainly play a big role in our future growth.
How would you describe the perfect weekend?
My perfect weekend is simply spending time with my family – whether that is a weekend trip exploring one of our favorite cities, time on the lakes with friends, or simply spending an afternoon in our backyard…they are all perfect in my book. Additionally, I have three sons and we spend a lot of weekends at ball fields or hockey rinks. Watching them do what they love brings my wife and me great joy!
