About ROVEN

Clinical understanding. Commercial judgment.

15+ years clinical-to-commercial. I started as a radiological technologist and cardiac scrub tech in ORs, cath labs, and trauma centers.

Then I ranked #1 of 204 nationally selling capital imaging for a Fortune 500 healthcare company, and went on to lead commercial teams at five MedTech and healthcare AI startups.

I have watched deals stall from both sides of the wall: the clinicians who will not adopt and the sales orgs that cannot see why. That is the stall I find.

Because I have sat on both sides of the wall, as a clinician and a commercial leader, I see the blind spots that boardroom strategies miss. That is why I founded ROVEN Strategy: to give leaders an independent, strategic second opinion before they commit capital, time, and reputation.
