Steve Halasey and Ron Shinkman

In a time when company leaders in every sector of the economy are being challenged to meet higher standards of corporate governance, executives in medical technology companies offer some great examples of what company leadership should look like.

Whether they are developing a corporate vision, shaping an early-stage technology, conducting investor relations activities, or negotiating the acquisition of an emerging company, medtech company leaders often have a lot on their plates. Such wide-ranging involvement frequently provides medtech executives with just the sort of experience necessary to exercise leadership in an industry that is known for innovation. Whatever their company's size, many medtech executives also make significant contributions to advancing industry goals and improving the delivery of healthcare to patients.
