What I do
Three things I do better than anyone in this territory.
Territory leadership
Built and managed $17M Pentax and $8M Fujifilm territories across NYC metro IDNs, academic centers, and ASCs. Full P&L discipline, CRM rigor, and relationship equity that carries.
Launch & commercialization
Currently consulting for three early-stage GI companies — portable EUS, wireless GI motility, and ASC development. Prior: drove Pentax and Fujifilm capital + disposable portfolios into the NYC metro's most competitive academic accounts, converting entrenched Olympus positions one KOL conversation at a time.
KOL engagement
A dense, active blackbook across NYC metro and the Northeast — academic chiefs, fellowship directors, interventional endoscopists, bariatric surgeons, ASC medical directors, and GI practice leadership. Built and maintained across 24 years of case coverage, not borrowed at a job interview.
Career highlights
Twenty-four years on the scope.
