Jason joined Natalie Harms, the editor of Innovation Map, to talk about Optellum’s journey and his career as a serial innovator with roles at Stryker and Veran.
“I’m not a computer scientist or an algorithm guy, but I do have experience in commercialization, leading teams, building culture, acquire great talent, working with my team to build a great strategy, and working with investors to make sure we’re in a good financial position.”
