Welcome back to another MedTech Snapshot. The one question, one answer, highly digest medical device podcast. With me today is Ray Biscuso. He is the executive vice president of events for AVIMED. We're going to be getting into a variety of topics today covering why would you want to get involved in some of these events? Perhaps, of course, we'll be talking about AVIMED, but why also just being involved in the industry at large as well? There's also a rather large conference coming up later this year, so we'll dive into some of those details. So stay tuned. All right, Ray, well, welcome in. So I'm really looking forward to diving into just kind of where AVIMED is today. You know, and you all have been through a variety of changes. I mean, 50 years is quite a long time for a trade association to be around. So can you maybe just walk us through, you know, the pathway to get to where you are today? And why people should consider getting involved with your organization? So yes, we're celebrating 50 years. We were founded back in 1974. And we were created because industry was all of a sudden regulated by the FDA. And we were started by companies that actually had products on the market. And you had to have a product on the market in those early days. And it was really just the big guys that joined. And it was a closed network. But we are the world's largest trade organization. We have a global footprint. Our members include, I want to say all 10 of the 10 largest medical device companies are members of ours. I think 35 of the 40 largest.

[Host - Travis] Welcome back to another Medtech Snapshot, the one question, one answer, highly digests medical device podcast. With me today is the global vice president of operations and IT, Luis Morales, Luis, glad to have you on. So, Luis, walk us through when KPIs aren't aligned, what's the impact to commercialize operations? [Guest Luis Morales] "Travis, I think that's a great question. And, you know, my thoughts around that may seem simple, but they're very hard to implement. You know, the businesses that I've had, I've had the honor of working for various companies and different businesses across my career." "And those that I've seen that are the most successful are businesses where they've been able to ensure that the broad organization, all functions, all teams really have one goal. Because at the end of the day, in a Medtech company, it is about serving as many patients as you can with the life-saving, life-altering technologies that we design and manufacture, right? And I've found that if you're able to align an organization to that basic principle, then you have the right mindset going into every different function and aligning on what's truly important to move the business forward, right? When you don't have that, right, there's, you know, prioritization problems. There's organizational retention problems, because frustration builds up, right? That leads to loss efficiency, it leads to stagnation of innovation." What happens when your first company fires you… and it becomes the best thing that ever happened? In this MedTech Snapshot, Dave Ferrera shares the career-defining moment that shaped everything that came after: getting fired from the very first company he co-founded. But that setback became the setup: ↗️ He got the opportunity to learn from a high-caliber executive team ⚒️ It gave him the business tools he was missing 📈 Prepared him so he felt ready to found another company Sometimes your biggest break can start with a breakdown.
