With 30 years of global business development and sales experience across both established and emerging companies, he has built a vast, engaged network of industry professionals and physicians. His expertise spans multiple specialties; including orthopedics, cardiology, and neurovascular medicine where he has successfully commercialized groundbreaking technologies.

A leader in the sales arena, Bart has served as Vice President of Sales at seven MedTech startups, demonstrating a rare ability to structure high-performing sales and marketing teams that optimize product launches and drive adoption. His deep understanding of commercialization strategies ensures that the right channels are in place for each product’s success.

Bart’s advice to early-stage startups?

“Growth must be strategic, and knowing what not to do is just as important. Avoid a cookie-cutter approach—don’t hire people simply because you’ve worked with them before. Instead, focus on proving product adoption within a limited number of accounts. Win there first—then refine your distribution channels and sales model.”
