I've always loved the magic of words. There is something beautiful about the epiphany that comes from tying two ideas together into some form of enlightenment. One of my goals after stepping down as CEO of the company I founded was to start writing. I was encouraged by Sway's new CEO Alex Pettigrew to put all those life lessons into written form to share with others. I hope some of you find value in these words.

In this wide-ranging discussion about the principles behind Proximie's partnership with Distalmotion, the trio highlighted the following: 🤝 The reciprocity of a partnership that brings together shared learnings and expertise, that ultimately get channelled towards delivering the best patient care possible. A partnership based on an "Invent together" ethos. ⚡ The "great fit" of Proximie and Distalmotion's partnership. "Otherwise I'm hiring 50 software engineers and we're having to build the piping and infrastructure that Proximie provide. It would take us years to do that instead of days." 🌐 How the partnership enables connectivity that "literally breaks down barriers." 💡 Proximie's role as "the digital powerhouse" that can help drive great and elegant robots like Distalmotion forwards on their journey.

Leadership Insights: 12 Wake-Up Calls Every Leader Needs to Hear This week, I had the privilege of engaging with my core team, a group of inspiring leaders at Supersonic's Aix-En-Provence office. We are excited to announce the launch of our Mach V4.2 upgrade in record time, a testament to the outstanding leadership demonstrated across all teams. This achievement underscores our commitment to innovation and excellence. Here’s what my core team has taught me: • Take responsibility and lead by example. Effective leadership begins with accountability and self-reflection in the face of challenges. • Embrace feedback as an opportunity for growth. Welcoming constructive criticism fosters a culture of continuous improvement and empowers others to excel. • True leadership transcends titles—it's about empowering your team to achieve greatness through collaboration and empowerment. • Practice consistency and fairness. By demonstrating integrity and avoiding favoritism, leaders cultivate a cohesive and trusting team environment. • Trust your team's capabilities and empower them to thrive. Micromanagement stifles creativity and morale—encourage autonomy. • Invest in your team’s development to unlock their full potential. As a leader, inspire growth and remove obstacles to success. • Create a culture of openness and honesty where ideas flourish. Encouraging dialogue and transparency fosters innovation and unity. • Accountability is the cornerstone of credibility. Admit mistakes, learn from setbacks, and build trust within the team. • Lead by setting high standards and demonstrating excellence. Commit to quality and inspire others to strive for greatness. • Serve your team with dedication and support their journey to success. Enable others to achieve their best through genuine support. • Actions speak louder than words. Lead by example and let your actions inspire others to exceed expectations. • Share both successes and failures with humility. Celebrate collective achievements and learn from challenges as a team. Let's continue to lead with purpose, integrity, and a commitment to empowering our teams to reach new heights! #TeamSupersonic #DreamTeam #Supersonic #Reimagined

🚀 Accelerate your commercial launch with Design for Manufacturing (DFM) Design Inputs! Want to take your design inputs to the next level? In the video clip below, I share how incorporating Design for Manufacturing (DFM) requirements can accelerate product development and maximize commercial success. Here’s a quick rundown: Why DFM Matters: Not a regulatory must, but crucial for creating economical and efficient products. Key Points: 1️⃣ Critical Features: Ensure your design can be easily manufactured using existing equipment. 2️⃣ Tolerances: If needed, set precise component tolerances to reduce production errors. 3️⃣ Poka Yoke: Design for mistake-proof assembly with features that ensure correct orientation and alignment. 4️⃣ Consideration: I like to primarily limit these to design constraints related to scales of economy and current manufacturing processes. In general, you want to limit specifying design solutions within design inputs. Watch the clip below to gain insights into the creation of DFM related design inputs! How do you like to integrate design for manufacturing (DFM) into the product development process? Please share your thoughts in the comments below!

Intuitive & Boston Scientific outgrow Medtronic   Since its inception in 1949, #Medtronic has seen steady revenue growth. Today, with over $30B in annual revenue and close to 100,000 employees, Medtronic is known to be the world’s largest medical device company.   In addition to revenue, Medtronic's valuation has also grown significantly over the years. In Aug 2021 Medtronic reached its peak valuation of $180B. However, since then, its valuation has dropped by over 40%. Today, Medtronic's valuation stands at approximately $100B.   #Intuitive and #BostonScientific on the other hand have both seen significant increases in their market cap in recent years. Despite having lower revenues — $7B for Intuitive and $14B for Boston Scientific — and fewer employees — 12,000 for Intuitive and 50,000 for Boston Scientific — both companies have surpassed Medtronic in terms of market cap. Today, Boston Scientific has a valuation of over $110B and Intuitive has a valuation of over $150B.   I previously wrote about the "Leaders who build Medtronic". I will write about the leaders who build Intuitive and Boston Scientific in the coming weeks. In the meantime, here is a look at the evolution of the market cap for these companies over the past three decades.   Data source: Google Finance Visualizer: PlotSet Music: Dr Dre – Still Dre (Instrumental) #valuation #marketcap #strategy #medical #medicaldevice * Views and ideas are my own.

"Is this technology easy to use?" That is a fundamental consideration when working on the design of any new product at Starkey. It takes intentionality throughout the process to ensure our products enhance people's lives. A 51-hour battery life and a patient-friendly charging system don't happen by accident. We often connect with hearing professionals during focus groups and hear the same feedback again and again: Starkey Hearing products are people-proof. It's impossible to make an error. #HearingTechnology
