Most recent position he served as Vice President of Sales for CardioFocus, a novel startup company providing a laser ablation solution for patients with atrial fibrillation, where he that developed and implemented a commercialization strategy for the United States which began commercialization of the CardioFocus solution. Previously, he worked for 15 years at Boston Scientific, one of the three leading cardiac device companies in the world. At Boston Scientific, he led sales regions across the mid-Atlantic, was responsible for launching new and novel technologies, such as the Sub-Cutaneous Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator and the Rhythmia Mapping System, and served in numerous roles including the field as a sales representative, clinical representative and finally a sales manager of multiple regions and business units.
